These are tasty - the raisins and the nuts add bits of crunch and flavor. However, they are rather dense. I used half regular flour, half whole wheat, and cut the sugar in half (NO more is needed).

this is a real good muffin. i made 1/2 a recipe and got 2 dozen muffins, which was plenty. that was fine, no problem. my major problem was it really stuck to paper liners, probably because of no shortening. i would definitely grease instead next time.

Followed the recipe exactly but substituted chocolate chips for raisins. We loved them!

I not only loved this recipe but my husband did too. He does not like pumpkin but loved these muffins. The only change I made was I used 1 cup of Flax Seed Meal in place of 1 cup of the flour and I greased my muffin pan with Crisco instead of using paper holders. The muffins were moist and as my husband said, "An unexpected burst of favor." This recipe is a keeper! Thank you for sharing.

I halved the recipe, but should not have since it was so loved! The only complaint I have is that it is a bit sweet for me, but everyone else did not mind. Also, I did do half whole wheat flour and left out the nuts. I always use lining but after reading the reviews that they stuck to the liners I sprayed my pans really well and stuck them straight in. Only 1 stuck and broke apart. I kept all the spices the same -they were just right! Easy and delicious, highly recommended!

These muffins are absolutely delicious - they're moist, light, and flavorful. I didn't miss the oil a bit. I did make a couple of changes - I used 2 c white sugar, 1 c brown sugar, and 1 c sweetened applesauce (it was what I had); I also used 2 t cinnamon and 1 1/2 t nutmeg for spices, leaving out the cloves; finally, I substituted semisweet mini chocolate chips for the raisins and left out the walnuts. The recipe made 8.5 dozen mini muffins for me. I will definitely make this again. It doesn't taste like a "healthy" version of a recipe at all. As others said, be warned that these stick if you use paper muffin liners. The sticking wasn't terrible, but I might try greasing the muffin tin instead next time.

Mmmmmm!! This recipe is definitely a keeper!! I didn't have any walnuts or raisins on hand, but these muffins taste great without them. So yummy, healthy, and like their name suggests, addictive! =)

I made this recipe once when I had no cloves--loved it. I then bought cloves to make it again. WAYYYY too much cloves! Also, I changed the recipe a little. I used 1/2 all purpose and 1/2 whole wheat. I also used Splenda instead of sugar and about 1/2 cup extra applesauce. I will definitely try this again with half the cloves specified.

These were very good! I didn't follow the recipe 100 % because I had no applesauce on hand but replaced it with vegtable oil which in turn probibly made mine a little bit more moist. I made full mounded muffins and in 25 mins they were done, so you might want to watch them. I think the taste is wonderful and you can play with this recipe. I also put strusel topping on 1/2 of mine (family preference). I think this recipe is a keeper. Thanks for sharing!
