- My Note: * I used applesauce instead of oil and found the muffins to be really nice and moist!
- as will as it made it light and fluffy!
- and I even added golden raisins.
- Am sharing it several places and plan to bring recipe cards with me.
- Doesn't even really need the frosting.
- I put the coconut into the blender to shred it more (I don't like long pieces of coconut!).
- I'll also chop the pineapple in a food processor before adding it--I didn't care for the chunks.
- Had these at our egg hunt today, and all the kids liked them.
- Even the ones who didn't like carrots or pineapple or coconut!
