WONDERFUL muffin recipe! I subbed King Arthur White Whole Wheat for the regular flour, used zucchini, subbed applesauce for the oil, used 1 large egg, and skipped the glaze. Just tried one & the rest will be frozen for breakfast. Thanks for sharing!! UPDATE 11/04/2010 - made last night using all whole-wheat flour & I like them even better! Texture is still wonderful and with much more fiber & protein.

I make this all the time, my friends and customers love them. Was out of raisins this morning, so I added dates. That is a very delicious alternative.

I loved 'em, loved 'em, loved 'em! Guess they hit my tastebuds just right, but I really thought these were awesome. I was secretly hoping no one else would like them, so I could have them all, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Everybody liked them. I used the carrots, and skipped the glaze. I just put a little pat of butter in them fresh out of the oven. Heavenly. I made them for brunch late Sunday morning. I'm thinking I will be making them for brunch again next Sunday morning.

This are delicious. I made the carrot version and added some chopped dried cherries instead of raisins. I also made 6 large muffins instead of 12 regular size. I skipped the glaze. For a breakfast muffin, it really doesn't need it. Made for Fall 2007 PAC.
