This is a wonderful muffin recipe! My chocoholic 5-year-old who wanted "chocolate chips" in them and who is a picky eater, loved them and ate quite a few! (I baked them in mini-muffin size tins for 10-11 mins.) I had neither whole cranberry sauce nor orange zest, but the jellied cranberry sauce and orange jucie concentrate substituted quite nicely. The only change I would make is in the technique. I would mix the apple chunks I cut them instead of grating them) in with the milk, oil and egg before adding the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. That way, less mixing is necessary, and the muffins will be lighter and less dense. Overall great recipe! My teenagers down to toddlers loved it, as well as my husband and I! I will definately make these again!!!!!

This turned out very good and even my picky 5 year-old ate some! I have always made a similar recipe, but liked the addition of cabbage. The only thing I did different was to pull the veges to one side of the pan, add a bit of butter to keep them from sticking, and cooked the beaten eggs before mixing them with the veges and adding the rice and soy sauce. Like another reviewer, I tried it with chicken and loved it that way. It would also be very good with the kielbasa. I will try it that way when I have some. I like adding frozen peas at the end as well. Very good way to use leftover rice!

My children raved about these! I have made these a couple of times, and the first time I made them as written, but the second time, I added a bit more cornmeal, for a greater cornmeal taste. I use the Biscuit Baking Mix that is found on this site, and replace the shortening with canola or olive oil.
