  These are lovely. I added apricots and some pumpkin seeds as well. Sprinkle some outs and sugar on the top before cooking to add a lovely crunch and look.

  There seems to be a decrepincy in the calorific value over these muffins! Does anyone know the correct calories as they do seem quite high to be a healthy snack ? I do hope its a lot lower as they are yummy :)

  I feel good when I am making these and again when I eat them, so definitely well-named! Very popular with my family. I doubled the recipe the second time I made these and made 24. I omitted the oil and used melted butter simply because I love butter. The suggestion of sprinkling oats and demerara sugar on the top was a good one. A great recipe - highly recommend.

  These mufins really are lovely. I've made them a few times now and all great everytime. I substitute White for wholemeal flour to make them lower GI and they work great. I change the fruits/nuts depending on what I have in my cupboard. I especially love mixed seeds. I freeze them and take them for lunch at work. Great mid morning or afternoon snacks.

  Fantastic muffins lovely and moist. Didn't find them too sweet but you probably could get away with less sugar if wanted. Yes they are high calorie if you make 6 out of recepie, but these would be huge, I made 9 and they were still very big and filling. You wouldn't choose these if you were trying to loose weight but as part of a balanced diet they're a lovely treat with lots of good for you ingredients.

  478 kcalories, protein 8g, carbohydrate 66g, fat 22 g, saturated fat 2g, fibre 2g, sugar 24g, salt 0.66 g so more calories than a mars bar [almost double] 3 teaspoons of fat and 5 teaspoons of sugar in each one. You serious that you feel good about eating these??? Won't be making for my kids.

  I understand why this would be almost 500 cal- I made 12 not 6! They would be humungus otherwise! But don't understand the sugar as the muscovado sugar alone would mean each muffin had around 23g so would the dried fruit only add 2g more? I doubt it.. But oh well it tasted lovely! Light but moist and FANTASTIC crust! And a great recipe to try endless combos of fruit etc. next I might try raisins as well as felt the fruit was a bit lacking.. Maybe even fresh fruit like raspberries?? Also I will try reducing the sugar and see if its still as lovely and sweet. (Btw I used wholemeal flour and added a couple tsps of baking powder to make it self raising- worked fine)

  Also recommend adding sunflower or pumpkin seeds for added texture :)

  I agree with mzprim regarding the true calorific content - I don't feel so guilty now!!!
