Great Tasting Muffin!

I rated this muffin a 5, but must confess that I altered it somewhat. I used all whole wheat flour, added cinnamon, cloves & nutmeg. Also added vanilla. Also added some walnuts & cranberries. And then there were the sunflower & pumpkin seeds. Not a lot of any one thing mind you ~ but the end result was a marvelous, nutty, flavorful, dense muffin. I did not use muffin cups & only filled the "pam" sprayed tins 1/2 to 3/4 full & baked approx. 15 min. Sure are yummy muffins! :)

These were so delicous!!! I added 1/8 cup unsweetened applesauce and 1/8 cup oil instead of the full 1/4 cup oil. These are my new favorite muffin right now!! thank you for all the healthy recipes!!

A keeper! My picky eaters, ages 12 and 10 loved them! I don't mind if they eat them since they are made with whole wheat flour. Next time, I will make them only with whole wheat flour! I used fresh blueberries in season! De-lish!!

I made these thinking they would be ok, but WOW they taste so good, just like a got them out of a speciality pastry shop! I used both cups of whole wheat flower, instead of 1 and 1. I also used about 1/8c. Canola Oil with 1/8c. applesauce in place of the 1c. canola. And eggwhites in place of the egg to save more on the calories!

These muffins were so tasty! Everyone in my family just loved them. The one thing i did change was replacing the brown sugar on top with crushed Total vanilla yogurt cereal. It added vitamins and a great crunch!
