For an extra cinnamon pop I use cinnamon applesauce. I also sprinkle with chopped walnuts on occasion.

These are great! i only made a couple of alterations. Instead of the 3/4 cup of white flour, i used a well rounded 1/2 cup of kamut flour plus a few Tbsp's of wheat germ. I also happened to have about 1/2 cup of home made trail mix that i added into the mix (pumpkin & sesame seeds, dried peaches, cranberries & rasins, cashews,pistachios, almonds, hazlnuts & walnuts)

The Nutmeg kills this recipe. Listen- just add a dash; even the cinnamon you can cut back on. TASTE The VEGETABLES, not the spices. Also, if you mess with the types of flour (i.e. use all wheat) you have to disregard cooking times and just look for a muffin that looks "done". Think outside the "recipe".

I just made these tonight and they were excellent! Internet recipes can be sketchy to say the least, especially when it comes to baking healthfully. But these were perfect! I was so pleased with the result. Both of my non-health-conscious roommates said they were the best muffins they had ever had in their lives! No kidding! Thanks so much for the recipe!
