Absolutely delicious!

I modified the recipe by adding less sugar and added a cup of raisins, 1 cup shredded zucchini, 1/4 cup ground flax seeds, and 1 tsp ginger. I doubled the quantity of vanilla and cinnamon. They came out superb! Next time I plan to substitute some of the oil with applesauce and add mulberries and orange zest. This is an excellent recipe because it provides the flexibility to add your own flair. Cheers!

Pros: moist, healthy and filling!

Very versatile recipe

I did not have wheat bran so I used wheat germ instead. I changed the 3/4 cup plain flour to 1/2 cup white pastry flour and 1/4 cup ground flaxseed. I replaced 1/2 cup of wholewheat flour with half cup of ground oats and reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup. The muffins were very soft and fluffy and still tasted sweet enough.

I changed this recipe up a bit, in order to use up some canned pumpkin in my fridge.
I doubled the recipe using three eggs, 2 cups of pumpkin, 1/3 cup oil, 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, 1/2 chopped dates and about 1/4 cup crushed flax seeds. They turned out great and freeze very well.

This muffin recipe is a keeper! Easy to make and filling. I omitted the chocolate chips and added golden raisins and a handful of pecan pieces. Also, as someone else previously mentioned here, added in some shredded coconut. Delicious!

These muffins are delicious! They are moist and flavorful. I was advised by my doctor to increase my fiber intake and these have 4 grams of fiber per muffin! just wish there would be a way to reduce the calories!
