These made exactly 12 muffins and the baking time was right on. The only comments I got were that they were good but a little crumbly. I used white flour and added in 1/2 cup wheat bran as I was out of whole wheat flour. That substitution may have contributed to the crumbliness. My only real suggestion would be to add cinnamon or a combination of spices for added flavor. Made for Switzerland Dessert Challenge during ZWT 7.

The selling feature on making these muffins was reviewers noting they weren't very sweet. Which is a plus in my book. I listened to the one reviewer who added extra oatmeal and whole wheat flour to eliminate the plain flour, and did that. I also added a heaping teaspoon of allspice, and some unsalted but roasted sunflower seeds for crunch. I removed just a little brown sugar and substituted real maple syrup for it. 15 minutes of baking appears to be best; mine were unfortunately baking for 20. Flavor was very good, internal texture decent. And yes, thankfully NOT too sweet!

These are good muffins, although I would prefer them to be a bit sweeter. Luckily, I took another's reviewers suggestion and sprinkled a brown sugar/cinnamon combo that helped a bit. They do have a good flavor, though, and it's nice having a recipe that uses staple pantry ingredients. The best part is that my 2-yr-old and 4-yr-old both ate them up!
