The students in my Nutrition and Wellness classes made these muffins as part of their fruit/breakfast unit and had only great comments! We made them in regular size muffin tins and came out with 10-12 muffins per batch. Their only comment was that they would have liked more of the crunchy granola topping.

I wasn't a fan of this recipes, I think that it was a little to dense. I brought it to a brunch and other people commented that they really enjoyed it. To each their own.

These were pretty good. Not dry like I thought they'd be. They are healthy, but need just a little more "umph" or flavor. I thought they were missing something.
