Delicious! I used organic cinnamon applesauce and added a pinch of cardamom. Super moist and very tasty!

so yummy - mine made 20 muffins, next time i'm going to try with honey instead of brown sugar since that's my preferred sweetener. But, a fun way to use up the in-season blueberries :-)

Marvelous muffins. I made a half recipe for 6 muffins using 2 tablespoons on Splenda Brown Blend and 2 Tbsp egg white and frozen berries . It produced 7 lovely standard sized muffins that are moist and yummy. This recipe is a keeper. Made for PAC, Fall '09.
