  Really pleased with these muffins, very easy to make and they looked nicer than the photo, used sour cream as I didn't have milk and it worked fine. Maybe not so low in calories but they have oats and nuts and prunes which are all healthy so don't fell so guilty.

  I found these work well with 1/2 the recommended amount of oil. I agree they are wonderfully sweet. I chose not to lessen the sugar deliberately though! Using this quantity to make 6 , even 8 would make for gigantic muffins (1 made 12 with this amount) therefore I think they would in fact be high in calories per muffin. I used 1/2 wholemeal self raising too and jumbo oats rather than porridge oats.

  The reader who whinged that her Weight Watchers diet didn't let her eat these delicious muffins has only herself to blame. There are other diet systems (also with weekly meetings and weigh-ins) that have a much more sensible approach to food. If your meal plan leaves you hungry and miserable and feeling deprived, chances are you'll break it and then be disappointed with your weight loss. My meal plan caters for my mainly veggie diet, and I never, ever feel hungry because there is always SOMETHING I can eat. If I want one of these muffins, I can have one and I don't have to feel guilty. I know that even though I have to count it in my treats allowance, it is also adding to my daily fibre requirement. Calorie counting sucks and I don't have to do it, yet combined with a sensible exercise plan, I'm still losing.

  These were nice but a little dense for muffins - mainly because of all the goodies in them.

  I made 2 batches of these last night and they were both delicious, lovely and moist and a doddle to make! The muscovado makes all the difference so don't substitute! I did make a couple of changes though... Added a mashed banana to both batches Used sultanas instead of pruhes) in the first batch Used only raisins (no pecans) in the second batch and no cinnamon (accidently) The second batch was my favourite!

  These muffins were lovely. I made a few healthier "tweeks" by using wholemeal flour, less sugar and more fruit to keep them nice and sweet. I would defo make again.

  Delicious - I used half dates/prunes and pecans, walnuts and hazelnuts (having a cupboard clear out) and these muffins were brilliant.
