  1. I used agave syrup instead of honey and 1 T flaxseed a 3 T water instead of egg, and my flour was whole wheat pastry flour. Made this way I felt these were really very yummy. Next time I will sub some oil with applesauce. Oh I did add vanilla and orange extract too ( 1 tsp each)
     
  2. I made this with my kids all in one bowl and it went together really well even with the modifications i made: I used brown rice flour and corn starch instead of the whole wheat due to what I had on hand, one whole egg, plain milk and added lemon juice, flax and cinnamon. They came out beautifully after 23 minutes. I do not think more sugar is needed but do think the banana and vanilla suggested by others would be an improvement... lemon zest would be nice too. Thanks for posting, We'll be making this again!
     
  3. I have made this recipe every week since I found it. This is the best combo my husband and I love. Add to the liquid: one tsp vanilla extract, a pinch of sea salt, 2 one week ripe bananas and add 1 tbsp of chopped walnuts in the batter once mixed together and sprinkling the top of each muffin with walnuts before baking. The bananas help add an element of sweetness. On an unhealthy note I have also made a variation with one tsp vanilla extract, pinch of sea salt, 2 ripe bananas, 1/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips (has to be mini) and 1/3 cup of toasted coconut with a sprinkle of untoasted coconut to the top of the muffin before being baked……yumm.
     
  4. These are great muffins. Very moist and fluffy. I added 1 tsp of vanilla, a pinch of salt. I also used 1/3 cup oil and 2 T applesauce. I thought they were plenty sweet, although I sprinkled half of them with cinnamon sugar before baking just in case. I haven't tried a cinnamon one yet, but I'm sure that they won't be over-sweet. This recipe is a keeper, for sure.
     
  5. Very good and healthier than other recipes. We were able to get 24 muffins from this recipe -- some to have right away and some to freeze -- my type of recipe! Made as directed to use up some buttermilk and other items that were on hand. Thanks for sharing!

Tweaks

  1. I used agave instead of honey and doubled my berries (used cranberries instead of blueberries). My husband even ate some! And he never ever eats anything whole wheat. These were great!
     
  2. I made some modifications. I used 1 cup of kefir, which is a sort of sour milk/yogurt drink, two T of lemon juice and 1/2 a cup of sour cream instead of buttermilk. I also did 1/2 and 1/2 white and whole wheat flour, salt and added 1/4 cup of ground flax/sunflower seed/pumpkin seed and goji berries. I added some vanilla powder as well. I thought these were great! I love that they are healthy and not very sweet. With a little jam or honey spread on they are perfect! Thanks so much for the recipe :)

  5. I thought these were great. Had a normal muffin consistency. I used yogurt and skim milk instead of buttermilk. I also sprinkled brown sugar on top which I think these muffins need. Instead of butter, we used honey as a spread. They could be sweeter.
