Great recipe. You have to read the entire recipe. The temp is 380 degrees Fahrenheit. ( that's what we use in the US) It's written just below the 200 degrees Celsius

I was quite skeptical when I saw that these only required the oven to be heated to 200 degrees, but then I read the two prior reviews and figured I'd give it a shot. Well, I was right: Baking these for 20 minutes at 200 was nowhere near enough heat or time. They were still practically batter. I upped the temp to 350 and cooked them another 10 minutes and managed to salvage them. All in all it's a good basic healthy muffin recipe that you can easily tweak to be vegan by subbing applesauce or some other fruit for egg. I added cinnamon, nutmeg, a couple of tablespoons of semisweet chocolate chips and a couple of tablespoons of cashews. I will likely make these in the future, but will have to play around with temperature and cooking time.

I love this recipe! I added some chocolate and walnuts, plus the cinnamon. MAYBE i sprinkled them with some icing sugar too.....and used brown sugar instead of the splenda.....so maybe they aren't as healthy or low fat as advertised, but my husband loved them!

First off, for the previous reviewer who gave this recipe a low rating because the baking temp. was too low-the recipe states 200 C. That is centigrade, not Fahrenheit. It is 380F. Now back to my review. These are delicious and can't believe they are so low in fat. I made one change. I don't like splenda so subbed sugar ( a little less than called for). Will be making these again. made for Spring 2014 PAC.
