Yummy! I am always on the look-out for healthy vegan desserts (contrary to what some non-vegans might think, not all vegan food is healthy, alas) and this absolutely hits the spot. Huge thanks to my friend Lisa for alerting me to this tasty, easy recipe.

I don't have a muffin tin, so I made these as cookies (the recipe also allows this) and they turned out beautifully! Sooo moist, delicious and satisfying. Even my husband (an ardent cookie fan) loved them.
I altered the recipe only by using coconut sugar instead of brown sugar. I try to never use white or brown sugar anymore and coconut sugar tastes a lot like brown sugar to me, so I think it was an apt substitution. I used the full amount as per the recipe and the cookies were plenty sweet. I might cut back to 1/2 cup next time as I have a feeling they will still be quite sweet and that would be even healthier.
Kathryn, I'm so glad you liked these, and had cool enough weather to try them. I'd use the brown sugar because I don't like coconut, but when I looked at the recipe it seemed to me the amount of sugar could be cut way down, at least by 1/2, and the muffins/cookies would be plenty sweet.
