SO good.
I substituted 1/3 cup Splenda brown sugar blend for the brown sugar; added 1/4 c. ground flax; used mixed frozen berries and a small banana instead of just the blueberries and these turned out great. I also made 12 muffins instead of 8 which (which my changes) makes these 100 kcal/each. :) - 1/31/09

I used your recipe as the base for my attempt to make the "perfect breakfast muffin." All I've changed so far is that I substituted egg beaters for the egg, and substituted 1/4 cup wheat germ for 1/4 of the flour. I got 12 wonderful muffins from this that had amazing muffin tops (the best part!) - 3/20/11

Just made these for the 1st time and they were SO GOOD. Changes I made: omitted the egg, upped the apple sauce to 3/4 cup, added a dash of cinnamon and a dash of fresh nutmeg. Next time, I think I'll coat the blueberries in flour before adding and decrease the sugar. But otherwise, YUM! - 8/21/10

I don't like bran but these are really yummy and so much healthier. This same recipe got great reviews on allrecipes.com which is where I found it. The only changes I made is to make 12 muffins instead of 8. Brings the calories down to 123, 1g fat. Only other change was to double the blueberries. - 7/25/08
