I can only repeat the others. These are wonderful. I like to know I'm giving my kids something good in their lunchbag. These will be going in often. Thank you. -
Bev, these muffins were terrific! I didn't change a thing with the recipe. The moistness, taste and texture was better than most muffins I've ever eaten. Thanx for the recipe! -
Great recipe! The muffins are so moist and delicious! I am going to make a double batch next time and toss the extras into the freezer. Thanks! -
I totally agree.they are just out of this world.. thanks.

Upon taking a bite, my 8 year old said, "Oh my gosh, Mom, I'm in love at first nanosecond!" These are yummy muffins and, indeed, remind me of mini carrot cakes. I kept out the raisins and reduced the oil a smidge. I also had enough batter for a darling mini loaf. (Really. It's way cuter than the muffins.) Thanks for a great recipe.

I've made these many times and have made a few changes that really improves these muffins. First, I use baking powder instead of baking soda. Second, I reduce the oil to 1/2 cup. Finally, I bake them at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Delicious! -
Yum, yum, yum, yum, YUM! I just finished making this for the second time and wanted to add my 2 cents. These muffins are sooo good! I substituted brown sugar for the white sugar the second time and added a little allspice, ground cloves and nutmeg. I'm eating my second muffin as I write this and will have to restrain myself from going back for a third. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

I loved these muffins. I left out the coconut, and substituted craisins for the raisins- and they were fabulous! -
I didn't have any apples, so I substiuted the same of amount of well drained crushed pineapple (14oz can). I also used pecans instead of walnuts. Yum!!!
-
Excellent and very adaptable! Instead of the vanilla I used almond extract and skipped the walnuts and raisins. Delicious! Next time I will use all the indicated ingredients for even better mufins. Thanks Bev for sharing!
