    These are also really good with 1 tbsp. of fresh orange zest. I just put the cranberries in the microwave and cover them/cook until tender to avoid boiling water step. Once tender, coat with sweetener. (don't add to the other ingredients) This avoids any sour taste, but test/add sweetener to taste. - 3/14/10

    These are wonderful muffins. I substituted sugar free maple syrup for the vanilla syrup and made 12 larger muffins. Baked them for 25 mins. Very moist and surprisingly not overly sweet. Great for the low carb diet. - 3/29/09

    This is a phenomenal recipe. I'm four months into Atkins and trying to stay under 20 carbs per day. I've been pretty successful, but today I was really craving bread. These muffins were just what the doctor ordered! (for those with the cranberry/H2O question - any amount of H2O and yes, drain them - 2/13/10

    these are really good! I elliminated the spices and added raisins. My husband always asks me to make a new batch when they run out of them at work, they finally eat breakfast because of these, I have been keeping them stocked up for months, they never get sick of them, they love them! Thanks you!!!! - 5/28/12
