I agree with others who say these need a little salt. They are good but rather bland. I think adding 1/3 c of honey or more would also add more flavor. Maybe even a dash of vanilla. IDK maybe not but they do need something to perk up the flavor. I baked mine for 18 minutes and they were perfectly done.

Good proportions and I like the fiber-full ingredients. They rise well in the oven and aren’t too dry or overly moist. However I add more sugar (maybe a quarter cup) and a little less than 1/2 tsp salt. They taste bland to me otherwise. But if you’re watching your sugar intake then they are fine as is.

I have made these twice! It’s so easy and healthy too; I made it with my kids both times and they loved the taste. The muffins are moist and flavorful even with only 1/4 cup of honey. Here are the changes I made, although there aren’t many: 1- I switched out the 2/3 cup walnuts for 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate chips. I’m not fond of nuts. 2- I used 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon and NO nutmeg. 3- I added a pinch of salt. One thing I'd note is that both times, I got 18 muffins using my cupcake scoop, not 12 like the recipe says. And I baked them for 17 minutes. Perhaps this recipe makes 12 jumbo muffins. Thank you for the recipe!
