This make a very yummy and healthful muffin. I added a cup of dried cranberries and subbed 4 tablespoons ground flax seed and 6 tablespoons of water for the eggs. Came out great. This recipe does make a lot of muffins though, next time I plan on cutting it in half.

We loved these. I doubled the recipe and it made 24 PLUS a pan of mini muffins. I used Fat Free Organic Milk and organic eggs. Thanks for a great new healthy favorite !

These are so good!!! The batter is really thick and yummy, and the muffins turn out with a rich wheat-germ taste which margarine compliments. These have a good, coarse texture. I used half whole wheat and half unbleached regular flour. Oh yes, and these made exactly 24 medium sized muffins for me. Thank you!

Made half of recipe and got 12 muffins. Subbed sucant & splenda for the honey (I was out of honey) next time I would use more sucant to make a little more sweet. Also added vanilla and blueberries. A tasty way to start the day. Very easy recipe to make, baked for 20 minutes.
