Not something I will try again! They came out the consistency of rubber pucks and I followed the recipe as written.

These were ok. They are kinda bland by themselves but we enjoyed them with cream cheese. Probably won't be making them again.

I've tried alot of muffin recipes and thought this one to be exceptional. I think of a muffin as a healthier version of a cupcake. So, if I want desert, I'll make cupcakes. This was slightly dense and quite moist. I subbed blueberries for the raisins, added 1/2 c nuts, and sprinkled the top with a little carmel sprinkle from pampered chef. They were over-the-top good. Kids loved them. Thanks!

These were really, really bland, even though I doubled the spices per other reviews. On the positive side, they were wonderfully moist.

Really not a fan. First time I've made something with a 4 star rating that turned out to not be so good. I didn't have whole wheat flour, so I used all white, maybe this was the difference? But I found them spongy and hard to get cooked all the way through. They looked nice coming out of the oven (though I don't know where the "dark" is supposed to come from), but as soon as they started cooling they completely shrank. Kids like them though.

I made these for the kids at the school that I work at...although the were very hearty and healthy, the kids did not care for them (maybe because they WERE hearty and healthy)...

I just made these as a 'Birthday Cake' for my little friend who just turned 1. I did soak the raisins (habit) and used OJ instead of applesauce (didn't have any). For those who aren't accustomed to a high-sugar diet, the raisins and honey make this recipe plenty sweet enough. I sweetened cream-cheese with a tiny bit of honey for icing.

I loved 'em! I made them for my dad for Father's Day and he said they were just like his mom used to make! I also doubled the spices as suggested and they turned out simply fantastic! Maybe a little more raisins next time though. Oh, and I plumped my raisins in warm water before adding them as well and they were plump and remarkably juicy! Yum Yum Yum!
