We absolutely love these muffins. I just wonder if the vegetable oil is going to raise my cholesterol level. My goal is to keep it down. It specifies that we shouldn't use olive oil. Is this related to the flavor or consistency? Anyway, thanks for healthy and delicious recipe! - 7/6/15

I love this recipe! I leave out the raisins and nuts and to me they taste like a grainy corn muffin. The best oat bran muffin recipe! - 5/4/11
