  1. This recipe was great. My husband thought they were just great, and takes them for breakfast. I added 1T. of cinnamon to the batter, 1/2 cup of coconut and 1/2 cup of wheat bran.
     
  2. I made this recipe for my husband who was recently advised to go on a high-fiber diet. I substituted skim milk (& soured it with 2 tbsp vinegar), and added about 1/3 c wheat germ to the recipe. After filling the muffin papers, I sprinkled on some cinnamon sugar. Being a fairly picky eater, I wasn't sure he'd like them -- but he did!! I think the next time I make them I might add some cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. And I might swap some applesauce for some of the oil. These are yummy!
     
  3. I made these just as described with 2 changes....I used 1/4c applesauce and 1/4c Smart Balance oil, plus I forgot to add the vinegar to sour the organic skim (tastes MUCH better than regular skim) milk that I used. I added the 1/2c of raisins, but not the nuts. I LOVE the fiber & protein that the whole grains contribute and the texture from the steel cut oats is awesome. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that the taste was a wee bit on the bland side (which could be my bad for forgetting the vinegar). Next time I'll add some spices (cloves & ginger?). Thanks for sharing!
     
  4. These were surprisingly tasty for how few ingredients it calls for. I was worried they would taste plain since my kids are anti nut and anti raisin, but they were actually quite good. I baked half the batch with the recipe as-is and half with the addition of vanilla and cinnamon, and the original won out in popularity. I used skim milk soured with apple cider vinegar in place of the buttermilk. Next time I'll try adding apple sauce to replace half the oil to reduce the fat.
     
  5. Thanks, these were great muffins. A little on dry side with the finished product, but overall very nice and chock full of good things. I used ww flour and added in pumpkin seeds & raisins. I love the extra texture the steel cut oats adds. I think this is my new go-to recipe for muffins!
