     These taste really good! This recipe is a definite keeper and will be made often. I was able to get 14 regualr size muffins out of this recipe. The only change I did was use splenda instead of the sugar. Try this recipe - you won't be sorry! - 2/16/09

     This recipe was very good. I actually cut the brown sugar suggested amount in half and added mashed banana with crushed pineapple. I would make it again in the future. Thanks! - 2/8/09

     Loved the original recipe, but the second time I added 2 T of milled flax seed for extra fiber and omega-3's. We thought that was even better. I put the cinnamon in the batter on accident, and we liked that. I sprinkled about a teaspoon of brown sugar and a little more cinnamon on each one. - 1/30/09

     I've been making these once weekly for a while now. I use them as my "100-calorie" snack instead of buying commercial products. The original recipe is excellent and is very versatile in terms of adding nuts, raisins, flax; and I've even used a banana. The nice thing is they are very filling. - 3/31/09

     great recipe! I added some vanilla extract to the milk and oatmeal along with pumpkin pie spice, blueberries, walnuts and flax seed to the batter. They were delicious. Definitely do not put in paper muffin liners...they do not come off of the paper very well. - 6/14/09

     I added vanilla extract to the soaking oats. I put the cinnamon in the batter and didn't top it with anything else. It was perfect that way. Made quadruple the batch (to freeze for later) and it actually made 60 muffins. Nice filling snack that staves off hunger! - 2/16/09

     I replaced sugar with Splenda brownsugar blend both in and for the top (adding cinnamon and walnut pieces) which gave them a lovely crunchy topping. They only took 15 mins. to bake. You'd never know these are a healthy version of a muffin. Thanks for this great recipe!! - 1/13/09
  • LEONEMAIL
     This is the first whole wheat muffin that I try that actually tastes GREAT ! I added blueberries & a 3 tblspns flaxseed and Cinnamon. - 2/8/09
  • AMVBOB
     I really enjoyed this recipe. It was easy to make and the muffins taste delicious. I made some heart shaped ones in a silicone pan for valentines! The only thing is, mine were DEFINITELY done after 15 minutes! - 2/9/09

     Worth making again. Of course I added the topping to the recipe instead of sprinkling on top. Will get it right next time. I added dried cranberries for an extra 10 calories per muffin. - 2/9/09
  • RACHTHEBACH
     I loved these muffins! So does my 4 year old son, which is unusual. (He usually hates anything remotely healthy.) We used frozen blueberries in place of raisins. And I mistakenly added the cinnamon to the mixture instead of sprinkling on top, and we really liked the result. Thank you for the recipe! - 1/28/09

     Very good! subsituted dried tropical fruit for raisins. Very good flavor and felt like eating a treat. Will make this again. Be careful not to overstir or muffins get tough. Fold only. - 3/28/09
  • ELIZABETHV3
     I've made these over and over again!!! 1 muffin holds off my hunger! I add 1/4 C raisins, 1/4 C chopped walnuts and 1 T gr. flax seed to the recipe. The family love these.Thank you so much! - 1/25/09

     I think 20 minutes was a little long... They seemed overcooked. Otherwise very good! - 2/24/09
  • SHORTYMAE2003
     I just made these. Fabulous!! I added the sugar and cinnamon to the dry ingredients, also added the oatmeal to the dry. Instead of using just egg whites I used whole eggs. Milk I used 2 %.Will definitely will make again. - 1/16/09
  • DN_MILLER
     I made these per the recipe - no changes - and they were very good. Very moist. 20 minutes was perfect for my oven. Thanks for sharing the recipe! - 5/10/09
  • JESSCKA205
     I don't think i need to even say this because so many others have done so before me... but i loved this recipe!! The only change i made was using splenda instead of sugar. - 2/22/09
  • WEETZIEBATZ
     These muffins were great! My only modification was that I added a little vanilla and craisins instead of raisins. They were moist and delicious! - 5/6/09
  • TYKUTSO
     These were DELICIOUS! My little sister LOVED them (which is surprising because she's usually very picky)! Luckily I read the comments before I made them so I saved the cinnamon for the end! These were excellent, with just enough sweetness and moistness. 5 STARS! =) - 6/4/09
  • PLSTIVER
     I also got about 15 (small) muffins out of this, so I only had to bake for about 15 minutes. I added 2 T of flaxseed meal as well. Still, these were very moist and tasted great. The cinnamon sugar mixture on the top gave it just the right touch. Thank you! - 5/19/09
  • EDWARDS928
     This turned out well. I really liked it. I added cinnamon to the batter and did the topping. Not a shabby way to start the day! - 2/10/09
  • AMABELLE_SNOW
     Tastey recipe. Made some changes, I used whole milk, put the cinnamon and sugar in the batter plus topped each with a touch of cinnamon and brown sugar. Also I did add the raisins it was perfect. I saw the banana suggestion and I will definetly try that next time. This recipe goes in my cook book. - 8/5/09
  • JEANNE229
     This can be a little dry, but I find warming it a bit (10 seconds) in the microwave helps. GREAT with nuts. Be sure to spray or they stick. - 1/12/09
