Blueberry-Maple Muffins

From EatingWell: Summer 2004, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)

Whole-wheat flour and flaxseeds give these maple syrup-sweetened blueberry muffins a delicious, nutty flavor. Compared to a traditional version of the recipe, they have four times the dietary fiber and substitute healthful monounsaturated fat (canola oil) for saturated fat (butter).

READER'S COMMENT:

Well

I didn't like the use of maple syrup, it was difficult to mix with the eggs, I prefer demerara or moscovado sugar, it mixes into a nice aromatic cream.
Someone mentioned the conversion from 1/5 cup to spoons, thanks! I have never seen a 1/5 measure cup.
I used frozen cranberries, and turned out well.

Pros: can substitute blueberries for any other similar fruit

Made with cranberries

Nothing special

I used frozen blueberries and buttermilk powder. My buttermilk powder says to use 1 cup water + 1/4 cup powder for 1 cup buttermilk but this makes the batter too liquidy. Reducing the water to 3/4 cup would have been better.

I didn't find that these muffins to be as awesome as some of the other commenters, pretty average, really.

In case anyone else only has pre-ground flaxseed, I found that 1/5 cup flaxseed yields about 6 Tablespoons ground flax seed.

Pros: Easy to prepare

incredible flavor!

The combination of cinnamon and the maple syrup, the orange juice and zest-my house smells wonderful! And these taste incredible! My husband loves them too and he never used to like whole wheat in anything! They are very moist and tender!

Pros: healthy, easy, delicious

This recipe is great with 100% Whole wheat pastry flour, not too heavy and tastier and more nutritious than with white flour...I also like it with 100 % Spelt flour..just bake a tad longer if you need to. There is no need to use white flour to bake with. I make ALL my baked goods with whole grain flours!!! KIds love the flavour and it gives them more energy!
