Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins

 Emj (Oklahoma) says:
This is a great, basic recipe. I used this to make a few alterations. I used a little more than 1/4 c. of applesauce instead of vegetable oil. I didn't have honey, so I used 1/2 c. of brown sugar. To jazz it up a little, I zested a lime into the batter and added some ground ginger. They really tasted great. I appreciate the simplicity of this recipe. Thanks!!

I always try recipes but never comment - this one is too good to not comment!!! I too looked for healthy alternatives and never knew if they were going to turn out, I will definitely make these from now on, they are perfect. I added a little lemon juice and cinnamon and they are to die for!

Great Recipe! I used apple sauce instead of the vegetable oil, Ener G Egg Replacer instead of eggs (because we're vegetarian) and I also used sugar instead of the honey (since we were out of honey). They turned out great! I made half a batch with blueberries and the other half using chocolate chips. Both types are delicious!

Just made these last night for breakfast this morning and they were excellent, especially compared to some of the other muffin recipes I've tried with whole wheat flour!
I did make a couple of variations -- I used only 1/8 cup of the oil and then added a little more than 1/8 cup of apple sauce as a substitute. I also added a couple of tablespoons of ground flax seed meal to up the health factor a little more and I didn't quite have a 1/2 cup of honey, so I substituted Splenda for the 1/8 cup or so that I was short.
Overall result was delicious -- even my toddler was impressed!

Great recipe! I made a couple modifications too. I used a 1/2 cup of Truvia instead of honey, added a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, and added 1 tsp vanilla. It passed the ultimate test - the kids LOVED it! They want me to make them again!

If you are trying to add more whole wheat to your diet, then you HAVE to try these muffins! I could not believe how light and fluffy they turned out. My teenage son, who does not care for anything whole wheat even ate them! This is a keeper for sure!

 Sasha (British Columbia) says:
Pretty good. Batter tasted too salty and not enough sweet so I added about a third cup sugar. Also they forgot to mention to add the blueberries.

Because I am on South Beach Phase II, I used 1/2 c. Splenda instead of honey. I also decided to use apples & cinnamon instead of the blueberries. I diced one medium apple up and added about 2 tsp. cinnamon to the mix. My batter was quite sticky, not lumpy, perhaps because of the dry Splenda having been added instead of wet honey. Also, they rose but not very high. They were more like little cakes. Regardless they came out soooooo yummy. I had one hot with some margarine. I think I'll have one with some cream cheese for breakfast.

This is a great recipe! I made a couple of modifications that went over really well: I used coconut oil instead of vegetable oil, I used half honey and half brown sugar (1/4 cup of each), and I added 1/4 cup of apple sauce (instead of substituting it for oil). I also added 1 tsp of cinnamon. They were great!

 DR (California) says:
Great recipe! I substituted brown rice syrup for honey (same volume) and they turned out to be some of the best blueberry muffins I have ever had. Yes, lemon zest helps. Less salt than specified might be better too, as they turned out a bit too salty with 1/2 tsp.

 Paulette (Texas) says:
This was a simple, easy recipe that was ad HUGE hit with everyone. I'm going to try it with the applesauce to replace the oil next time. I also didn't have honey, but I used agave syrup, and it worked fine! This is a definite keeper!

 Meghan (Illinois) says:
These were delicious! I made a few changes: applesauce in place of oil and 1/4 cup honey plus 1/4 cup Truvia to make them a bit more Weight Watchers friendly. Thank you so much for a great, versatile recipe!

Wow, this recipe is amazing, I have made these muffins twice now, the first time I followed the recipe exactly and the second time I added banana and raisins, and the results are wonderful. Thanks for sharing this excellent recipe.
