whole wheat blueberry muffins
I made my first batch of these muffins and also found the batter too thick and the muffins dense & dry. They didn't raise much, but maybe my baking powder needs replaced. I wouldn't mind the denseness if they were a bit more moist. I love the taste and they are more satisfying than most recipes. I will make them again.

Whole wheat blueberry muffins
These are so good! I added a little turbinado sugar to the topping for extra crunchiness. Yummy!

YUMMMM!
I took the advice and used all whole wheat with half applesauce/half oil. I also put in at least twice the amount of blueberries (and they were fresh picked). But these were fantastic! I actually found them much better as they got older, which surprised me. But, I stored them in a plastic container with plastic wrap over the top - I think it increased the moisture over time. Really yummy. Making them next week for breakfast at church.

Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins
These are great . If you feel they are to dense try using whole wheat pastry flour instead of plain whole wheat. I think you see they are a lot lighter.

I found this recipe yesterday, and made them last night. I have never made a muffin by scratch before, so i made a few adjustments to it, i added vanilla, i used 1/8 appplesause 1/8 oil, and added sliced almonds. The outcome was very good right out of the oven when warm, however when they cooled down and the next day they seemed a little dry or bland to me. Other than that, they were delish! My boyfriend loves them! :)

Dense!
Maybe I did something wrong...my muffins came out very dense. They did not fluff up! Any suggestions? Great flavor though!

WHOLE GRAIN GOODNESS!!
Well, I don't think there has been one bad review of this particular muffin and I'm not about to be the first. I've made these twice..once for co-worker guinea pigs and the second time for my church members. I did experiment with the second batch and found out that you do need to have at least half oil and half applesauce as the outside of my muffins burnt! but the insides were not tarnished and tasted just fine.. also used Splenda brown sugar and put slivered almonds in the batter. They were even a hit with my 8 year old nephew who helped me make the first batch!

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! :)

whole wheat blueberry muffins
These muffins are awsome!! I have made them twice and my husband can't stay out of them. I added about 1 tsp.of cinnamon to the batter and about 1/4 cup of slivered almonds. I also used all whole wheat flour, and half applesauce and half oil. The second batch I used walnuts because I was out of almonds. Both were very good, my husband liked the walnuts better

Whole Wheat Blueberry
I followed this recipe to a tee, and it was very dense, also I had to add a little extra skim milk because the batter itself was very thick, But it tasted very good and it would be a very filling breakfast with a glass of juice and a cup of coffee or tea!! The Banana Cheerio ones are in the oven now, I'll let ya know how it goes! Luv, Kat

Blueberry Blah!
I was very disappointed how flavorless these muffins were. If I make again I will add cinnamon and vanilla to the batter. Took more than 35 minutes to bake... closer to 55 minutes in my oven.

i tweaked it a bit
These are good muffins but i tweaked the recipe a bit. I used applesauce instead of oil, almond breeze milk instead of skim milk, egg beaters instead of an egg, all whole wheat flour, cherries instead of blueberries, and i added chopped almonds and vanilla. They taste very good but are very dense muffins.

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!

I made this muffins 3 times already and my husband and I love them. I just change the recipe a bit adding one cup of skim milk and a bit of apple sauce. I only used whole wheat flour.

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 Thanksgiving morning for breakfast w/ my mother in law. I was kind of sketched out about making them because some peoples reviews said they were "bland". However, I was 150% satisfied with my results!! I did use the applesauce like some people said, and seriously, these came out "wicked awesome" as they say in my neck of the woods. I think the brown sugar topping just added the perfect amount of sweetness. I highly recommend these muffins to everyone!

Yum yum
I made these this morning in no more than 15 minutes (prep-time). They were delicious! I used blueberry-pomegranite applesauce in place of the oil and light vanilla soy milk. They were very light, fluffy and pretty filling too. I will definitely be making these again and again!

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!
