By far the best muffin I have ever had! I followed the recipe exactly and would not change a thing. How nice to get away from raisins and walnuts and have delicious dates and peacans! That coupled with healthy carrots, apples (I used granny smith) and coconut....HEAVEN!

I don't know why, but I didn't like this recipe too much. I think it would have been better w/less apple.

These were okay. I'm still rating it a 4 because I didn't use nuts. I like this muffin, but I think it needs some butter for flavor. Maybe use 2 tbsp of melted butter instead of vegetable oil.

These muffins are absolutely delicious. I didn't have any dates or nuts but they turned out great anyways. They smelled so good while baking that I kept checking on them to get a whiff! Definately something I would make again.

These muffins are FANTASTIC! I did change it slightly for personal taste--all whole wheat flour, apple sauce instead of oil, raisins and walnuts for dates and pecans. I diced the apple because I wanted the texture. Next time I'm going to add oatmeal. This is a moist and flavorful breakfast treat!

Changes: Went for half whole wheat flour, half white, split the oil with applesauce, and threw in some shredded zucchini, flax seed, and soy protein for good measure. Replaced sugar with Splenda for baking. Also made 12, not 18 muffins. I used pre-shredded carrots, but I think I would have been better off shredding them myself- it threw off the texture a bit. Slightly undercooked in the middle of the bigger ones, but that's my fault. They are delish, and I imagine they're pretty good for you with my modifications.

I was worried that the texture would be weird, seeing all the coarsely grated carrot and apple in the bowl, but they turned out really quite smooth! Chunky enough to make them interesting, the flavour is nicely spread around. A nice wintry muffin, I'd recommend adding a lot of extra cinnamon (I did 1.5 teaspoons, but next time I'll add more). Might be good with nutmeg? To turn into a real treat, try adding a cream cheese carrot cake icing. Tastes like carrot cake. Pineapple might make this a bit more like traditional carrot cake, but they're nice they way they are. Sugar just about right! Think I'll try applesauce instead of oil next time.

These are the best morning glory muffins I've ever had! Like some of the others here I modified slightly...I substituted a combination of craisins and dried cherries for the dates, I squeezed all the water our of the grated apple and I used slightly less sugar than called for. My family LOVED them and we will most definitely make them again.

Great! We've decided we need 1/2 dz of these in the house at all times. I omitted dates and used twice the nuts (walnuts rather than pecans).

These muffins are fabulous. I've made them twice as muffins and once as a carrot cake. I didn't have any dates so I used golden raisins. When I made this into a cake, I added an additional 1/4 cup of sugar and baked it for 40 minutes in a 9x13 cake pan. Also topped it with cream cheese frosting. Got rave reviews as both muffins and as a cake.

Ok, I made these muffins and I have to tell you-THEY ARE GREAT!!! However, I did alter the recipe a little (OK A LOT!) But I added stuff and used different nuts. I added blueberries (instead of using dates)...I substituted almonds for pecans....and I added a cup of (fiber enriched) bran flakes pureed in the food processor (but you have to use more oil)...But instead of using oil, I use Best Foods Mayo (1 1/2 cups)---makes muffins super moist...and I had to use one more egg and I also added 1 cup of organic apple sauce. Oh yeah, I also used Splenda baking sugar instead of regular sugar....Instead of muffin cups, I made mini-loaf muffins and they turned out SOOOOOO good and SOOOOOO yummy!!! This is a definite KEEPER recipe...

TURNED OUT GREAT...THESE MUFFINS HAD A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING.I USED A LITTLE LESS CINNAMON (1 1/2 TEASPOONS) AND USED 1/2 CUP APPLEBUTTER INSTEAD OF OIL. THE APPLEBUTTER HAS A NICE FLAVOR THAT COMPLIMENTS THESE MUFFINS.

These are a new favorite and a great way to have veggie and fruit in the morning. I omitted dates as I didn't have any and don't like coconut. I also replaced half of the oil with applesauce and sprinkled a packet of instant apple oatmeal on the tops of the muffins before baking. This added an extra apple/sweet flavor. They went incredibly fast as we all for them as a snack throughout the day, but they only got more moist as they sat. Thanks for the recipe.

These are very good. I just used what I had in my cupboard which ended up being apples, carrots, coconut, dried cranberries and hazelnuts. I also used 1/2 wheat flour and 1/2 white. Next time to make them healthier, I will eliminate some of the sugar and fat by replacing some of it with honey and flax seeds. Delicious!
