This recipe yielded a very moist muffin, and tasted a lot like oatmeal! And what a plus! It's all good for you. I only made half the recipe and added mini-chocolate chips instead of the raisin and left out the pineapple (since I did not have any on hand). Easy and yummy, that's how I like it! Thanks for sharing yet, another healthy treat, Glaucia!
