The muffins turned out better than I expected! Here are my changes: omitted the oil, subbed plain nonfat yogurt for the milk, added nutmeg and allspice to the cinnamon, then about 1/2 cup of flaked coconut and chopped pineapple. I also used brown sugar instead of white. I also made a topping of coconut, cinnamon and oats. Very fluffy and not too sweet. These should be good with any fruit combo. I know that I added and changed a few things but I kept the proportions the same.

I just made these so my son and hubby would have a healthy snack versus eating whatever junk they can get their hands on. I just ate one to see how it tasted and I have to say the texture was great. Not a whole lot of flavor in the actual muffin, but the topping adds enough to make it very good. Since tomorrow is grocery day, we have NO food in the house so it was great to be able to make something with just the regular pantry staples. I used bisquick mix for the base, but I would probably make my own with whole wheat flour. I left out the oil and added a little extra applesauce. Also added 2T of Flax Meal and 1T of Flax Oil and a little Nutmeg. I'll probably play around with this one and use it as a base in the future.

these were very good and simple. the only change i made was, i sprinkled raw sugar on top before baking them, so they would have a nice crunch on top. instead dipping them in butter then sugar after they were baked

Fast and good with limited ingredients. Just what I needed today. I substituted egg nog for the milk and it was tasty. *I only managed to fill 9/12 of my silicone muffin cups - our family could have used a couple more.

Very nice and the applesauce made them so moist. I have a baking mix that I make and keep on hand, so this recipe is perfect for using it. (I'd recommend using a mix you've made not a store bought one since most of them have trans fat in them and you can make your own without the bleached flours..keep your family healthy)(My baking mix is: 5 c. flour, 1/4 c. baking powder, 2 tbs sugar, 1 tsp salt. Keep in an airtight container. Cut 1 TBS butter for each 2 cups mixture before adding to the rest of the recipe) I agree with a previous post, the cinnamon/sugar on top is a must to keep the sweetness. It's not overly sweet, which is a plus because there are a lot of too-sweet recipes out there. I do prefer it a touch sweeter, I think next time I'll do a layer of the cinnamon/sugar in the middle of the muffins. I will absolutely use this again. As I write this I keep going back for another bite!

I thought these would taste apple-y but I guess the applesauce is just for moistness. They are nice but very plain.

I can't stop eating them... I don't usually write reviews, but these muffins are so good, I had to. Baking is therapy for me, so I wanted to try something healthier for my body's sake. I was worried they'd be dry or something but they aren't! The sugar on top made them just perfect!

I didn't have baking mix, so I used 2 c. flour, 2 tsp. baking powder and 1/4 tsp. of salt. I made 24 mini muffins, baked at 400 for 10 min. I upped the sugar to 1/3 c. because I wasn't planning on topping with cinnamon sugar, but then I tried one and it really had no flavor. They definitely need the topping to be good. So for flavor I would only give 3 stars, but for ease, speed of prep and baking, and use of common pantry staples I would give 5 stars, so that averages out to 4.
