I substitute half of white flour with whole wheat and ground flax seed to make a tasty high fiber breakfast muffin. Sometimes I substitute maple syrup for brown sugar. Add a dab of almond butter when eating and they will hold you all morning!<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"12\/15\/2017 17:46","GUID":"adb733edad4f4a79be869b7d8d83ccc1","MemberId":5649229,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"bbmd2@comcast.net","SubmittedDate":"12\/15\/2017 17:46"},{"Comment":"
This recipe is great if you eat right away, but I'm not a big fan of the topping after it sits overnight.<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"10\/01\/2017 10:42","GUID":"4456EC2A15C84E09BB9C67CA62A2A1F9","MemberId":4262008,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"rwippel","SubmittedDate":"10\/01\/2017 10:42"},{"Comment":"
I have made these 4 times now. The only thing I've done differently from the base recipe is double the cinnamon and leave off the topping.<\/p>
I made one batch with a diced apple mixed in, another with a diced peach and one with blueberries. For the last batch I mashed up a banana in place of the apple sauce. They have all turned out delicious! They freeze nicely too.<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"08\/26\/2016 23:48","GUID":"c3fa5779146e445b8ed9e771c723dc6a","MemberId":8921566,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Cckeefer","SubmittedDate":"08\/26\/2016 23:48"},{"Comment":"
Perfect! Used almond milk and a flaxseed \"egg\" and added dried cranberries, and they tasted great! Made closer to 14 muffins, which is great because my roommates have already eaten most of them. Also left off the topping because I was pressed for time, and they still tasted delicious. Def a keeper!<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"01\/10\/2016 23:51","GUID":"b875e57c28754237b1f3d6d7067a443b","MemberId":8692621,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"cataieec","SubmittedDate":"01\/10\/2016 23:51"},{"Comment":"
These muffins are the best! I have never reviewed a recipe online before and I joined this site today just to rate these. The only change I made is that I used whole milk because that's what I had on hand. This recipe would be a great base to add mix ins as well. I really want to try making it with some raspberries next. Yum!<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"10\/21\/2015 14:44","GUID":"7e479f51ca1d4998a297b255f78dfdec","MemberId":8581278,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Jesseastman84","SubmittedDate":"10\/21\/2015 14:44"},{"Comment":"
These were great! I don't like really sweet things for breakfast so I left off the topping. I also didn't have an egg so instead I used 1 tablespoon of crushed chia seeds (I used a food processor to crush them) and 3 tablespoons of water. You mix those together and let them sit for about 5 minutes and they become the consistency of an egg yolk. Worked beautifully and tasted great!!!<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"05\/24\/2015 22:40","GUID":"096446124ce042c2a403554ab8f06236","MemberId":8388872,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"AllisonnL09","SubmittedDate":"05\/24\/2015 22:38"},{"Comment":"
Great healthier recipe! Made recipe using some of suggested & my own options: upped the cinnamon, used almond milk, had a large shriveling apple that I washed, cored and processed w\/peal till fine, accidentally used the 1\/3 instead of 1\/2 cup for the brown sugar but was plenty sweet and skipped topping. Moist with crunchy top. May add some chopped nuts and a bit of fresh grated ginger to next batch. Can have fun with healthy add-ins you like.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"03\/14\/2015 13:10","GUID":"5260937ccb934a6ea2fb7ee6e0d14fd2","MemberId":7552234,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"joonthego5","SubmittedDate":"03\/14\/2015 13:10"},{"Comment":"
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT recipe!!! Will definitely make again. They turned out quite moist which is unusual for "healthy" muffins, especially because I replaced the white flour with whole wheat. And they had a delicious flavour!!! I had made a few modifications (so I haven't tried the "original" recipe) as follows:<\/p>
- Switching white flour for whole wheat<\/p>
- Upping the cinnamon content (probably at least double)<\/p>
- Adding a bit of ginger (probably what the recipe called for for cinnamon or a bit less)<\/p>
- Using 1\/2 the applesauce (I ran out!)<\/p>
- Using 1 less tablespoon of oil (I'd doubled it, so I used 1\/4 cup)<\/p>
- Adding in 1 O% yogurt cup (for moisture to compensate for the applesauce and oil)<\/p>
I also did not try the topping.<\/p>
And it was delicious!! I would also suggest adding nutmeg, allspice, raisins, or walnuts. Yum!!<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"11\/22\/2014 21:29","GUID":"6f256bba17844790b7e5d50427bc21b0","MemberId":8116847,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"refuge912","SubmittedDate":"11\/22\/2014 21:29"},{"Comment":"
These were delicious and filling! I actually got 12 muffins out of this recipe. I did substitute a few things: white whole wheat flour for AP, splenda and 1\/2 t molasses for brown sugar inside muffins (I used regular brown sugar for the topping) and almond milk for the skim milk. I also added 1\/4 t nutmeg to the batter and a dash of nutmeg to the topping. Muffins were just under 150 calories and less than 22 net carbs with my changes. I will definitely make these again.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"09\/06\/2014 12:12","GUID":"dc3f71165c144d3f9a0edc40d2fc2a51","MemberId":7974041,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"StaciaS","SubmittedDate":"09\/06\/2014 12:12"},{"Comment":"

very good - fast, inexpensive and tasty - just how we like them. I also used a whole egg since I was only making the muffins.
