These muffins are SO TASTY! They are moist and very sweet. I replaced butter with vegan margarine due to lactose intolerance. Even my picky eater, who wouldn't eat anything with raisins ate 3/4 of a muffin. Thanks!

Absolutely Awesome!!! These are so moist ... they remind me of Morning Glory Muffins. I didn't have prunes or raisins, but added dried mixed berries instead. Also added coconut flakes when I added the nuts. Will make these again, and again, and again. Thank you Lynn!!

I used diced Granny Smith apple instead of dates, and these were really good muffins!

I liked these. Due to the lack of processed sugar the flavor is slightly more complex. If you want it sweeter try adding a quarter cup of Agave Nectar. However, my kids ate them without any added sweetener and approved.

I thought these were great, with all the dried fruit who misses the sugar!

My friends all loved these and wondered how they were sugar free.

Yes... these were excellent. Moist, tasty, and easy to make. I like the idea of substituting applesauce for part of the butter, and will cook down an apple and try that next time.

Just an FYI...these are NOT sugarless. They should be labeled as "No sugar added" or something along those lines. The dates, raisins, and prunes are actually incredibly high in sugars. Natural sugars are better for you, but this recipe would not necessarily be good for someone who needs to, or wishes to, strictly limit sugars in his/her diet.

These muffins were very good. I did alter them a bit as I added flax seed and sesame seeds, and I did not add prunes as I did not have any. I was wondering if a person could exchange the butter for apple sauce? I have used applesauce instead of oil and this had worked out fine. This way these muffins could be sugarless and low fat. If not I will still make them again. Thanks

These are so good, and nutritious. Wonderful for diabetics. I have looked everywhere for this recipe, and finely! A cook at our hospital used to make these - 20 years ago. This recipe is the same. She used to make them brownie fashion, in a 9 X13 pan. They were great that way. I took one reviewers suggestion, and used part wheat flour and flax, used 1/2 unsweetened applesauce and 1/2 butter, and increased the baking powder to 1 tsp. They were perfect, and keep nicely.
