    These muffins are absolutely disgusting. I tried multiple ways to add flavor and sweetness. None of them worked. Wasted all these ingredients. horrible. - 9/17/12

    We made ours with Horizon Fat Free milk; and put in some dried cherries. Making these again, I would go with nuts over dried fruit, and maybe a bit of flavor like pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice. However, thought they were a very good muffin and rose well for being "healthy." - 11/12/09

    To increase sweetness without adding artificial sweeteners, a used 2 tbsp of agave nectar. To > moistness, I added 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt and to improve flavour I also added 1 tsp cinnamon. Used 1/4 cup almonds, 1/2 cup raisins and 1 apple peeled and diced. Needed 1/2 cup additional WW flour. gr - 2/3/12

    These are ok, but they did tend to stick to the muffin liners. My husband didn't like them (they aren't sweet at all) but he was happy with a little agave nectar! I don't think I will make them again, but they are decent enough for a healthy muffin. - 1/6/12

    I made mine with vanilla almond milk. They are good for a healthy muffins. We eat ours topped with a little yogurt and blue agave nectar! That makes them VERY good and a huge hit with the family! I have even served them at a dinner party this way, and everyone loved them!!!! - 3/14/10

    I had only dried currants on hand, so I used 3/4 cup, also I had no flaxseed, so I omitted that. Also, I used vanilla soy milk. These turned out very moist and dense (my tins made 10). Mine have a strange aftertaste. I would make them again, tho, as they are incredibly healthy for a muffin. - 3/15/09
