    I made these for my family on Sunday morning. They were incredible! I added banana and craisins and my husband said they were the best muffins I ever made! Thanks for the receipe! - 5/30/10

    This is one of my favourite recipes! I have tried it with regular brown sugar and with Splenda brown sugar, and it works very well both ways. I just used normal quick oats and didn't bother with the soaking part and it worked fine. I made tons of these and froze them (they freeze well). Yum! - 11/23/10

    These were ok. I wasn't terribly impressed. They were not very flavorful and not as sweet as I usually expect muffins to be. I baked them for 17 min. and they were definitely done, which is less time than the recipie says. - 12/12/08

    I added 2/3 c. chopped walnuts. Next time I will also add some ground flax seed and bake it at a slightly lower temperature. - 5/25/08

    I used bananas instead of the applesauce and got 14 instead of twelve. They are really yummy! I think I'll have some with a little peanut butter on them for lunch tomorrow. - 11/29/07

    O.K.
    i accidentally dropped a yolk in and added some ground flaxseed along with craisins and frozen blueberries. The taste was ok. i baked them at 400 for 18 minutes, but live at high elevation, so i'm not sure if i did something wrong because they seemed well done when i took them out. - 8/13/11

    I added 1/2 c. mini chocolate chips and a handful of walnuts. Definitely improved the flavor without increasing the calories too much. - 8/22/10

    Hi MISSPENN - I'm wondering how the sugar content of less than 2g per serving can be correct. The brown sugar alone has 146.7 grams of sugar in it, which comes out to 12 g per muffin - did you leave something out of the ingredient list? Thanks. - 8/12/10

    Going to make these today. Can't wait to try them. - 8/4/10

    I added some mini chocolate chips which of course upped the calories but still kept them relatively healthy. And they were VERY good. Thanks for sharing! - 7/30/10

    Chewy and sweet. I cut the recipe in half for just myself, but think I could eat a dozen easily! Adding cinnamon definitely ups the flavor factor. - 7/30/10

    These are REALLY good!!! I made them w/1% milk and w/Splenda Brown Sugar Blend. The bake time was only 18 minutes. My daughter has already eaten two of them :) I wish they were a bit bigger, but I will definately make again. - 7/29/10

    I must say that if you choose to add nuts or chocolate chips you are adding more calories to the recipe.
