Quite good!! In my ongoing attempt to sneak in veggies where I can, I added some finely diced broccoli crowns (saying it was spices), and replaced the chilis with finely sliced green onions. I also substituted the bacon with veggie bacon, used half the butter and half the shredded cheese, and whole wheat flour in place of regular, and it was all a wonderful combination! I made a mix in a regular muffin tin and a mini-muffin tin, and the mini-muffins were everyone's favorite. I will definitely make this again - all as minis, and play around with various mix-ins.

Fantastic base recipe to add in whatever goodies you have on hand! A few tips to reduce the oil: with one batch I added two ripe mashed bananas and reduced the oil to 3/4 cup, and with another batch I replaced half the oil with fat free sour cream - and both times, they turned out fantastic!! Use whatever fruit / veggies / nuts combo you have on hand - and you can easily substitute some of the sugar for honey, maple syrup or a splash of o.j. I love throwing in whatever I need to use up - from dried cranberries, zucchini, sunflower seeds - it has all worked wonderfully. I do sprinkle a touch of brown sugar on tops just before baking.

I used dried, pitted figs instead of fresh, and sprinkled pre-sliced almonds on top, and it was still absolutely tremendous! Plus, it was only a matter of minutes to prepare and a breeze to serve. This will definitely be a new "go to" recipe!
