Super muffin! For a muffin with no added fat these are very moist and delicious. Especially considering that made them with 3/4 cop whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup of all purpose and used Porridge Oats (a mix of old fashioned oats, oat bran, crushed flax seed an other very high fibrous things that are really good for you). Adams peanut butter (a natural brand that has NO added fat or sugar and salt is even optional) is that only brand that I buy and all I have on hand right now is smooth but I wanted the nut crunch so I rough chopped some cashews and tossed them in........YUM. Oh! and I used a 3/4 cup half full of Splenda Brown. This is a keeper recipe for sure. Made for Almost 5 Game 2011.

Wonderful!!! We just loved these muffins! So easy to make, and just delicious! I couldn't help myself, I had to add 2 very ripe bananas sitting on my counter. Yummy! I did double the recipe and got 12 jumbo muffins. Thank you Mel! I will be making these gems often! Made for 1.2.3 Hits Tag

Yummy! Made this as my mum wanted me to try an alternative to the usual cupcakes or muffins I'd make. Definitely making these again and I'll add in chocolate chips next time too!!

Great little muffin. Moist and flavorful, and made the house smell great. Just the right amount of sweetness.
