I found this recipe yesterday, and made them last night. I have never made a muffin by scratch before, so i made a few adjustments to it, i added vanilla, i used 1/8 appplesause 1/8 oil, and added sliced almonds. The outcome was very good right out of the oven when warm, however when they cooled down and the next day they seemed a little dry or bland to me. Other than that, they were delish! My boyfriend loves them! :)

Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins
I made this muffins 3 times already and my husband and I love them. I just change the recipe a bit adding one cup of skim milk and a bit of apple sauce. I only used whole wheat flour.

WHOLE GRAIN GOODNESS!!
Well, I don't think there has been one bad review of this particular muffin and I'm not about to be the first. I've made these twice..once for co-worker guinea pigs and the second time for my church members. I did experiment with the second batch and found out that you do need to have at least half oil and half applesauce as the outside of my muffins burnt! but the insides were not tarnished and tasted just fine.. also used Splenda brown sugar and put slivered almonds in the batter. They were even a hit with my 8 year old nephew who helped me make the first batch!

Whole Wheat Blueberry
I followed this recipe to a tee, and it was very dense, also I had to add a little extra skim milk because the batter itself was very thick, But it tasted very good and it would be a very filling breakfast with a glass of juice and a cup of coffee or tea!! The Banana Cheerio ones are in the oven now, I'll let ya know how it goes! Luv, Kat

i tweaked it a bit
These are good muffins but i tweaked the recipe a bit. I used applesauce instead of oil, almond breeze milk instead of skim milk, egg beaters instead of an egg, all whole wheat flour, cherries instead of blueberries, and i added chopped almonds and vanilla. They taste very good but are very dense muffins.

Great Tasting Muffin!
I rated this muffin a 5, but must confess that I altered it somewhat. I used all whole wheat flour, added cinnamon, cloves & nutmeg. Also added vanilla. Also added some walnuts & cranberries. And then there were the sunflower & pumpkin seeds. Not a lot of any one thing mind you ~ but the end result was a marvelous, nutty, flavorful, dense muffin. I did not use muffin cups & only filled the "pam" sprayed tins 1/2 to 3/4 full & baked approx. 15 min. Sure are yummy muffins! :)

A keeper! My picky eaters, ages 12 and 10 loved them! I don't mind if they eat them since they are made with whole wheat flour. Next time, I will make them only with whole wheat flour! I used fresh blueberries in season! De-lish!!

I made these thinking they would be ok, but WOW they taste so good, just like a got them out of a speciality pastry shop! I used both cups of whole wheat flower, instead of 1 and 1. I also used about 1/8c. Canola Oil with 1/8c. applesauce in place of the 1c. canola. And eggwhites in place of the egg to save more on the calories!

These muffins were so tasty! Everyone in my family just loved them. The one thing i did change was replacing the brown sugar on top with crushed Total vanilla yogurt cereal. It added vitamins and a great crunch!
