I added 1/2 c of white sugar by mistake. Then also added just under 1/4 c brown sugar. I used fresh blueberries, extra bananas and strawberry applesauce. Amazing, but successful after all that! Very moist and tasty. Will make again. - 7/7/08

Made these today and they were terrific. They puffed up nicely, were moist with nice flavour. I will be making these often at only 140 calories. - 5/13/12

Really yummy! I don't have a muffin tin, so I made this in a pan, & it made a great muffin loaf! I used fresh blueberries, added a smidge more milk, & used 1 cup brown sugar, 3 tsb. cinnamon, & some vanilla extract, to make it sweet. - 3/16/11

I found this batter pretty stiff so I added two tbl of canola oil and for extra flavor I added 1/2 cup of dries apricots. These are not as sweet as normal muffuns but they are still quite good - 12/31/13

These were good but I would add Splenda brown sugar next time - I used honey this time and added another banana; still pretty dense and not very sweet. - 12/24/10

Made them last night. Cloves or Coriander might give it the flavor the muffins need. - 8/2/08

I made these with splenda, fresh blueberries and an extra banana. They're pretty tasty and perfect for a quick breakfast before working out. - 7/25/08

I made these with fresh blueberries and my DS said the berries tasted sour (but he ate FOUR muffins, lol!). I would use a little more sugar next time. - 7/22/08
ELLENCHEZDESY
Wow! These are great! I went blueberry picking this morning so I have loads of berries to use! I doubled the berries to two cup and used about a 1/3 of a cup of sugar. Yum! - 7/20/08

I used fresh blueberries, and they worked fine. Very heavy and filling. I used the 1/2 c sugar, but if you're looking for box-muffin sweetness, try 3/4-1 c sugar as they didn't have the sweetness of muffins at all. The banana added a pleasant sweetness, though. Hubby thought they were just "okay". - 7/4/08

I haven't made this yet but I am going to tonight sounds really good - 7/1/08

This was okay, but not all that great. I even used 1/2 cup sugar instead of 1/4. But maybe it was cause I used all whole wheat flour and it made it too heavy? - 6/25/08

Delicious and filling. The only change I made was to add 1/4 cup more milk in order to get a better batter consistency. - 6/22/08

I haven't made this yet, but plan to in the near future. It sounds wonderful - 6/18/08
