    Delicious and really easy recipe!! I substituted Craisins for the yellow raisins, omitted the coconut, and added half a cup zucchini. I also used 1 c whole wheat flour, 1/2 c white flour, and 1/2 c ground flax seed. Instead of 1 c oil, I used 1/2 c oil and 1/2 c apple sauce. Healthy and Yummy!

    I've made this recipe many times and would highly recommend it to anyone, that is why I'm rating it 5-stars. Today I made this recipe with substitutions which my family enjoyed. I substituted parsnips for 1 cup of shredded zucchini, the coconut for 1/2cup of shredded sweet potato, golden raisins for dries cranberries, and for health reasons I used white whole wheat flour [1cup] and all-purpose flour [1cup], and reduced the oil from 1 cup to 1/2cup olive oil [you can also use coconut oil which is healthier and now available at Trader Joe's] and 1/2 cup apple sauce. I also added one chopped banana.

    LOVED this.....some changes I made....I didn't have parsnips so used more carrot and apple, like others only used 1/2 c oil and 1/2 cup applesauce and I also used 1 1/2 c flour and 1/4 c ground flax seed and 1/4 c wheat germ instead of the 2c of flour. My children loved them!!!!! and I felt super good about giving them. Thanks Emeril

    I have to admit I was skeptical...parsnips? only one apple? But they were AMAZING! Emeril never disappoints. I did heed the advice of previous comments noting the amount of vegetable oil should be reduced (I ended up using 1/2 c vegetable oil and 1/2 c of unsweetened applesauce, but otherwise followed the recipe as written. They were so moist and flavorful - my boyfriend loved them too! I will definitely make these again as a great grab-and-go breakfast.

    Wish I'd read the reviews before making these--after baking, there was a pool of oil at the bottom of each muffin cup. They were still very moist and delicious. Will make again, but substitute something else for half the oil, as others have. I've wanted to try this recipe for a long time, but never have parsnips on hand. I substituted whole grain white flour, Splenda, some dried cranberries for the dark raisins and walnuts instead of pecans. Was surprised that the coconut seemed to get totally lost as a flavor. It's a more time consuming recipe than most muffins if you hand grate the vegetables; I'll use the food processor next time. That they're healthier than most muffins is a big plus for me. Emeril, I have to spend more kitchen time for your recipes, but I'm never disappointed. You rock the flavors.

    These are the BEST muffins ever - they should be called EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK MUFFINS!!! My family eats Gluten Free so we substituted a Pamela's gluten free baking mix for the flour and baking soda. These are perfect for Gluten Free baking as the other ingredients really make it moist. I have done these with and without the parsnips - PLEASE make it with the PARSNIPS they really add a great flavor. I did cut back the sugar a little also.

    They tasted great, but were insanely oily. I definitely recommend substituting applesauce and/or milk for at least half of the oil.

    Awesome.....I love muffins and am very picky when it comes to them. I didn't have parsnips so I used 2 cups of carrots instead. I also added 1/2 cup veg oil and 1/2 cup milk (in place of the full 1 cup of oil as requested. I opted out the Granny Smith apple for 2 small B.C Red Delicious apples. Turned out to be one of the best muffins I have ever made. Don't hesitate like I originally did....TRY THEM for yourself!!!
