Awesome muffins!

So, these turned out better than I could have imagined! I tweaked the recipe a bit... skipped the orange zest and used some cinnamon instead, used natural applesauce instead of oil, and substituted no-calorie sweetener instead of sugar... a great success! You might need a bit more milk than the recipe calls for, but otherwise, I would definitely suggest it. Fresh cranberries worked well!

Delicious!

These were very good. I did change the recipe a little,-substituted half of the oil with unsweetened apple sauce and sprayed the muffin pan instead of using paper muffin cups. I will definitely make these again!
