Whole Wheat Flax'n Apple Muffins

A good healthy muffin and by substituting buttermilk for sweet milk you will have a moister product. Also could try yoghurt but add a couple more tablespoons.

These are wonderful. I made them exactly like the recipe. I didn't not find them dry at all, as a few did. I would like to point out a few things about flax seed. Our bodies can not get nutrients from whole flax seeds (google it!). I use a small coffee grinder to grind the flax seed. Also, flax seed DOES have wonderful Omega 3's--which can easily go rancid. Store flax seed in the freezer, and only grind what you need. Or store your already ground flax seed in the fridge or freezer--it will help to keep it fresh and tasty. I also keep my nuts in the freezer for the same reason. I will try these next time with the applesauce instead of oil--I didn't have any on hand today.

Simple to make and very tasty!! I love this muffin. It's moistened, and soft and fluffy! I didn't have any ground flax seeds and nuts, I omitted them. I made a recipe double quantity and used square pan. so glad i found this. Thanks for posting. I will definitely be making them again.

My husband really liked these. He isn't too big on whole wheat....but liked these....and they have no cinnamon which is why I chose this recipe (he can't eat it). The only thing I changed was leaving out the flax seeds--didn't have any. I got 17 muffins from the recipe and I filled the cups almost full. Thanks for the recipe. Will be making them again.

My first foray into using flax seed and trying to make healthier baking choices. The muffins turned out great! My DH thought the texture was a little "different" but I thought they were fine. I also added cinnamon and a bit of freshly grated nutmeg. I think both complemented the recipe very well. Thanks for posting it!

I made these along with recipes 181385 & 81900 (also fairly healthy muffins). These were definitely the favorite of the three. They really don't taste like "healthy" muffins at all but are sweet and light. I'll make these again.

These were very good for about 2 days. After that they turned VERY bitter and gross. I'm not sure if it was the flax or if I should have kept them in the fridge. But they weren't eatable at all after 3 days.

Very good. I made as written and they were moist and tasted great. Thanks Barb!

Amazing muffins. I used only whole wheat flour though and no white flour. I also didn't have flax seed on hand. Instead of the oil I added 1/4c of unsweetened applesauce, and added more apples and raisins as well. Yummy!

I've tried a lot of muffin recipes but this one tops them all! I used both flax seed and wheat germ, replaced the graham flour with whole wheat and used berries in place of the apples. They had just the right amount of sweetness and were light and chewy - not heavy like healthy muffins tend to be. My 2yr old and husband eat at least 2 a day. I like to put them in freezer and pop them in the microwave to heat up. Thanks for this recipe!

Great recipe! Thanks for posting it. For the person that mentioned it is bland, I recommend adding a teaspoon of apple pie or pumpkin pie spice to give it a kick!

This recipe rocks!! We used whole flax seed (Linseed) in place of ground. Dont over mix and you'll end up with light n moist muffins. My 13 year old entered these in the Adelaide Royal Show, Primary School Healthy Muffin Section and won 1st Prize!!

Yum-O!!! I will be making these regularly. In the middle of putting everything together I realized i didn't have any milk....yikes. So I searched the fridge and found a cup of yoplait light apple streusle yogurt and used that instead...I know, weird huh, but it worked! Who knew? I too added some cinnamon, also a dash of nutmeg and used sunflower seeds instead of nuts since I didn't have any of those either! They are SO MOIST and delicious. And good for you to boot.

I was looking for a healthy apple muffin recipe and this one was perfect. It mixed up pretty quick, and I added a little bit of streusel topping because I was really craving that. I used applesauce in place of the oil and was really happy with the taste and texture of these muffins. My husband even said they were good, and I don't think he would have even tried them if he would have seen the ingredients! I used about 1 1/2 small apples to get 1 1/2 cups. I thought I would prefer a recipe with grated apples, but the small chunks of apple give it really good flavor. I will definitely be making these again.

Loved these. The batter was VERY thick, and I was afraid I had done something wrong. I was tempted to add more ingredients to doctor it up. I'm glad I didn't because these turned out delicious.

I made these from the box. I added a tsp of cinnamon and a couple more tablespoons of water to moisten them up a bit. I also added a little raw sugar to the top. The 3 year old the 9 year old and the husband all ate them and said yum, so that says it all. These are even better if instead of apples you add two bananas and some walnuts. My kids let the bananas go bad on purpose just so I will make the muffins.

This is a 10 star recipe! Loved these. They were moist and perfectly dense without being rubbery and just sweet enough. I left out the nuts, added 1 tsp ground cinnamon and doubled the recipe to fit into my mega muffin tins. I mixed a strusel topping which I layered into the muffin itself and used gala apples. I have been on the search for a "bran" muffin that could actually be enjoyed for quite some time. This is the one. Absolutley perfect in every way. Oct 22, 2006 Made these again this weekend and chopped the apples larger, added nuts and accidentally used 1 tsp soda instead of 1/2 tsp, they still turned out delish. I didn't realize this was a recipe I made before because I was using a print out vice the zaar cookbook. I think it speaks well of this recipe that it appealed to me twice and was delicious just as many times. I will definitely make this again and again!
