So simple, yet so delicious! I have a few suggestions, however. First, I added 1 tsp. of vanilla and 1\/2 tsp. of almond extract to add some dimension. Also, I sprinkled the tops with turbinado sugar before baking. These are even awesome the next day--toast them up and slather with butter. So so good.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-01-06","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Suzy"},"reviewBody":"I don't know how this got so many good reviews; these muffins were bland and bad. Maybe I can recycle them into bread pudding or maybe I'll just throw them away. I even added 3\/4 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp cinnamon and they were still so bland and boring. Also, inspired by others' reviews, I used 2 tbsp oil + 2 tbsp applesauce instead of 1\/4 cup (4 tbsp) oil. But I don't think that's what made the difference.
