Lovely, big, delicious muffins! I used fresh cranberries which I chopped up a bit. I sprinkled sugar on top. They were a big hit at breakfast this morning with scrambled eggs and fruit cups. I will use this recipe a lot! Thanks again Miss Annie! I love your recipes!!

I used the entire egg instead of just egg whites... I found this recipe to be fairly dry... and not sweet enough! The doughy part was not very flavorful...

These are big muffins! Not to big, but a great size for 3 WW points. My only problem was something with the flavor...I'm not sure what, may try adding orange extract in it, or maybe it had to much wheat flour for me. Texture is pretty good too!

These were really nice, hearty muffins. I sprinkled on some sugar before baking and used fresh cranberries. The only problem was that they dry out very quickly if not stored in an airtight container after being cooled.
