     I substituted 2 egg whites for one of th eggs, used skim milk, used only 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and added currents. They were really good - I love getting all that flaxseed in - 2/1/09

     These were fantastic. I've been passing them out to co-workers and family and everyone loves them. I substituted 1/2 cup applesauce for the apples and added 1/2 cup chopped fresh/frozen cranberries. - 3/11/08

     I substituted 1/2 cup of the brown sugar for Splenda granules. I also used zucchini instead of carrots. I was surprised at how moist the muffins are, and tasty!! - 4/19/08

     OhMiGOSH! Dare I say this is even better than Bran Muffins! These are WONDERFUL! I love the texture and taste. I did add 1/2 tsp. nutmeg. - 8/27/07

     Wonderful muffins. I used rolled oats instead of the bran (which I didn't have). They do tend to stick to the paper - no doubt because of the lower fat content. - 4/3/09
  • CRAFTYC
     Quick note - according to the nutritional breakdown, only 3/4 cup flax meal is included, not 1 cup. (12 Tbsp total - 1/2 Tbsp per each of 24 servings) - 7/12/09
  • MISMARCIA29
     These are excellent! I added some Wheat Germ, protein powder, and a pear! A new favorite! - 6/30/09
  • NIBOR55
     These are the best muffins! Added pineapple to them also. So many fruits that you can add or change -- entire family was fighting over them. Now we double the recipe & freeze some. - 8/7/09

     I make these when I travel and I eat 2 for breakfast with some juice. I use 7/8 cup of honey in place of the b. sugar. You have to reduce the milk by 3 tbl. so they aren't so wet. Use flax and water in place of the eggs. So delicious and use your imagination! - 7/14/09
  • JOYING42
     Mmmm Good! My husband and I love this muffins. When we need just a few more calories and a few fat grams we reach for these. We freeze them and take them out 2 at a time. I am ready to make some more in a few day. - 3/17/09
  • AMYLW11
     i didnt have oat bran, so i used wheat bran, subbed 1/2 the brown sugar with splenda, and used 2 mashed bananas instead of the carrot/apple/raisens, since it's what i had on hand. my 2 year old loved them, his picky friend did as well, and so did my husband! i'll continue to make this! - 7/15/09
  • SHRINKINGREV
     Pretty good! I added 1/2 cup of OJ because it just seemed way too dry even going into the muffin pan. I'd make it again. - 4/9/09
  • JESSICA140
     These are wonderful! Its hard to believe they are actually healthy. I used a mix of dried fruit (blueberries, cranberries, raisins). I will definitely be making these again. - 3/23/08
  • GEWATSON
     a muffin with good potential. I think I might add some molasses and grated ginger to pick up the taste a bit. It is a nice moist muffin that is lightly sweet and nutty - 2/4/08
  • LLTS01
     I omitted the sugar and added 1/2 cup of Splenda. In lieu of carrots, I added shredded zucchini. I made 18 rather than 24 muffins. They were delicious. - 4/6/09
  • JKBELLS
     I thought these muffins were amazing! Very flavorful & moist (be sure not to over bake) Even my friends and family loved them. Very healthy and a great and easy way to start the day or have as a snack! - 2/21/08
  • TPEACH21
     My kids and I made these muffins last night. We loved them. To make things a little tastier for my kids I added carob chips. They look and tast like chocolate chips. They never knew the difference. - 2/20/08
  • LILDOT1958
     Very good and moist. I also substituted several ingredients; eggbeaters for the eggs, Splenda brown sugar blend for the sugar, applesauce for the apples and Crasins for raisins. I will definitely make this recipes again. - 8/5/09
  • CRAZYOVERPURPLE
     I made these great tasting muffins and everyone that tasted them said they really liked them as did I...one thing just a little "spray" of liquid I can'T Believe It's Not Butter...is an added little bonus....they ARE good!!! - 10/14/07
  • CYCOIVAN
     These are some damn good muffins. I did half splenda half brown sugar, used crushed bran flakes instead of oat bran, and used half a jar of applesauce (i didn't have any apples around). They are very moist and the kids like them as well - 11/29/09
  • KATETACK
     These are delicious. I used just 1/2 cup brown sugar and I used craisins (no nuts). I also used 1% milk and they came out fine. I used 1 cup of finely chopped carrot and chopped the apples with their skin for added nutrional value. My recipe calculated to 89 calories. - 9/27/09
  • BERRY4
     Definitely a great recipe. It just takes me too long to put it together, so it is only occasional at our house. Freezes well. Great to share with friends trying to move toward health.
    (BTW I use chopped dates instead of raisins!) - 9/23/09
  • ROMANTILLY
     Use 1/2 the brown sugar and use skim milk instead. It decrease the fat and calories significantly. Lots of possibilities for substitutions though. - 7/14/09
  • MBAUMGARDNER
     Fabulous! I like them with dried cranberries instead of raisins. Will also try substituting dried cherries - 3/20/09
