Lovely muffins! I added 3/4 tsp baking soda, combined the dry and wet ingredients separately, then tipped the wet into the dry to combine and give fluffy muffins. This yielded 9 full-size muffins, and I reduced the calories by using applesauce instead of butter and slightly reducing the sugar. - 10/16/07

Delicious!! This recipe DOES make 12 cupcakes-- you just have to carefully dole out the batter into a normal-sized cupcake tin one spoonful at a time. I added cardamom and cloves and placed one half walnut in the middle of each cupcake. The walnut sunk into the very center as a tasty surprise! - 1/1/10

I substitued 1/3 c cinnamon applesauce for the butter, added 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, omitted the fresh ginger but increased the powdered ginger to 3/4 teaspoon. I got 12 muffins, but they were very small so I made 8 instead. They were SO moist and they tasted full-fat. Will make them again. - 11/13/10

Seriously this is supposed to be 12? 12 tiny muffins, maybe. I made 10, and it was a spoonfull of batter in each muffin cup. They're still very small. They are definitely tasty, moist, and overall good, but this does not make 12. I also modified it, used applesauce&Silk instead of butter&milk, - 5/14/11

These were great. I was only able to get 10 muffins out of the recipe. I made a few substitutions-doubled the spices, substituted equal for the white sugar and egg beaters for the eggs and added a chopped up fresh pineapple spear. We loved them, a nice change from my usual low cal banana muffins! - 3/29/09

I cut the sugar to 1/2c loose-pack brown sugar, 3/4tsp powdered ginger as I had none fresh, 1/4c ground flax seed, 3/4c 1% milk, and even with the additions I only got 9 muffins, 1/4c of batter each. Very, very tasty, though! I also separated the egg & lightly beat the white to add some lightness. - 1/21/10

I couldn't resist making this great recipe but had no wheat flour. So, I subbed Fiber One pancake mix (lots of fiber) for the flour and proceeded as the recipe directs. I used 2 cups of carrots and 1/2 cups each of pralined chopped pecans and golden raisins. 12 cupcakes later - delish! Thanks! - 11/10/10

I was thinking this was low cal but because they are only half a regular muffin, it is hardly that. The batter filled only 8 muffin cups less than 3/4 to bake, so I don't see how you can make 12. Maybe this is supposed to be mini-muffins? Hope this doesn't confuse others as well, a good muffin - 3/7/07
