    Very Good
    First off, how much raisins do you add, they are not listed. I didn't realize they were missing until I had the batter in the muffin thin. That said, I used all bran buds, and added 6 oz of zucchini and 2 large bananas. The spices were awesome. The muffin was very moist, a real hit in our house. - 8/21/11
