    It's an oat bran muffin so it is gonna taste healthy. I liked it. I put a dallop of smart balance butter on top and drank my coffee alongside. Pretty good in my opinion. And simple to make! - 2/21/13

    These were not good. They came out more like dry cornbread than muffins. After reading the ratings I was so convinced that I must have made them wrong, that I re-made them with a friend and they still turned out the same. I followed the directions carefully and did not use substitutions. - 9/9/09

    I have been wanting to try stevia, and just found a box yesterday. Think you could add some ground flax to this and raise the fiber content? - 6/4/09
