  1. Becky REVIEW:

    These don't taste low fat at all they taste like regular muffins! Very good and I will make them again.

  2. Claire REVIEW:

    I too, substituted 1/2 the white flour with whole wheat & reduced the sugar - used 1/2 Splenda - added strawberries that I had to use up.Delish!

  3. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Muffins were easy to make, and tasted great. Only substituted cloves for the ginger.

  4. Nana REVIEW:

    Since I have diabetes I reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup. I'm not a ginger fan so I used nutmeg. I also deleted the topping (too much sugar). They were delicious in spite of my changes and my non-diabetic husband loved them. I got 13 huge muffins that worked out to 204 cal, 32 grms carb and 4 gm fat. Not bad for a breakfast muffin with some cheese. Thanks

  5. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Lovely recipe! I didn't get 24 as other reviews suggested - I got 16 huge ones. Cooked to perfection and filled with rhubarb, although I added more than the 2 cups in recipe. Enjoy this one :)

  6. tara REVIEW:

    Great recipe! Very tasty. Definitely makes 24. I substituted half of flour with whole-wheat flour and cut a bit of sugar and still delicious.

  7. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Very sweet and delicious. Make sure you dice the rhubarb finely as recipe indicates, or you'll have undercooked pieces in the muffins. Recipe made 24 standard size muffins, not 12 as indicated, but they all disappeared at the office.
