    I used 1/2 c. Egg Beaters instead of the eggs, 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce instead of the oil, nonfat milk instead of 1% and they turned out great! I also portioned them into regular size muffins for a total of 18, making one fit into my healthy eating habits easier. Moist and delicious! - 1/22/08

    I followed the recipe as is. The batter definitely ends up more as a cake batter than a muffin batter, but they turn out wonderfully moist. They taste very good, especially considering the very low saturated fat content. Wil definitely be making these again! - 5/21/08

    My batter was quite runny so I added another half cup of whole wheat flour and a quarter cup cocoa. I used hershey's dark cocoa and they sure have the ability to get rid of that chocolate craving!! I only have one large muffin pan so I made a dozen regular muffins and 6 large muffins!!YUUUUUMMMMYYY! - 2/16/09

    The batter will be rather runny, but it will turn out - you'll see! :)

    Not sure what I did wrong with these... I put 1/2 into a 6 muffin jumbo muffin pan and the rest into a regular sized muffin tin. I sprayed. Oth with nonstick spray before filling. The muffins in the jumbo pan came out perftect, the regular sized stuck horribly and fell apart. They taste great tho - 3/30/12

    wow these did not work for me. They didn't puff up, had to be scraped out of the muffin pan, and didn't taste good. I threw the whole batch away and was not happy about wasting ALOT of ingredients. - 10/27/10
