    I substituted the sugar with Agarve syrup, and had to use whole wheat flour since I was out of All Purpose Flour. I also mixed Wheat Germ and whole flax seeds in as well. I used fresh strawberries and these muffins are AMAZING. I love the yoghurt in it and the texture of the bran.

    These are absolutely delicious. The batter is a little bit hard to scoop, but I used an ice cream scoop (the kind that you squeeze to release the scoop) and it worked great. I didn't have plain yogurt or walnuts, so I used peach yogurt and pecans. Also, I was able to make 24 small muffins. - 7/2/10

    I really enjoyed this recipe, but had to add a little more yogurt to make the batter easier to manage. Delicious, and hard not to eat more than one! - 2/9/10

    i like the versatility of this recipe. it was my 1st foray into "healthy" baking & i was pleasantly surprised. i added a little wheat germ & subbed wheat bran for oat bran because i was out & it turned out fine. adding a bit more yogurt than the recipe calls for makes the batter more manageable. - 7/22/09

    The whole house smells wonderful as I sit here devouring these AMAZING muffins - the best I've ever made! I made 1/2 blueberry peach currant (used a mini peach yogurt), and the other 1/2 are Chocolate Cherry with Craisins thrown in. (Used a mini cherry yogurt + choc chips). TRY THESE TODAY!!! - 2/6/09

    mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. raisins instead of blueberries, okay not my fav but adding a little more yogurt meant they were still moist n yummy. - 10/25/10

    We had to add rice milk to the recipe because mixture was to hard. The recipe only made 12 small muffins. Plus, we had to eat two muffins to feel slightly full. Make sure you plan ahead to be eating two servings if you do your menu plans ahead of time. Yummy! - 3/13/09
