You could absolutely serve it instead of a muffin.
This morning again, guests just love them 
However, I will try to switch the oil with Applesauce and see what happens.
OMG!!!! just made them for the first time and got nothing but raves....They are yummy.....even thou at first I thought...1 cup of oil....that can't be right.....they were delicious! But, I did use extra virgin oil.......all I had on hand.
Thanks for sharing the recipe
ewwwww!!! EVOO!!! ...especially a cup of it....If it was a good quality one, didn't that leave a weird taste to them??? I would not use and I don't think they recommend using olive oil in baking.

Honestly, no , it did not leave any wiered taste to it. It tastes like a spice cake. maybe this will be the new rave !!!!!
