Whole Wheat Muffins

Nice basic whole wheat muffin recipe, mine came out a little dry so I added 1/4 cup of yogurt the next time. Added chocolate chips and walnuts.

I put Banana,shredded coconut & sultans in I also used self raising flour

If you are looking for a recipe which is not too sweet, this is the one for you. I followed this recipe as is except I substituted unsweetened applesauce for the vegetable oil (something I most always do for muffins and sometimes cookies). I found the muffin just a bit too dry and it just was not sweet enough for me. I probably won’t make this recipe again.

Good basic recipe. Substitute some things, my concern is your temperature settings if I had followed the recipe my kitchen would have been full of smoke and alarms would have erupted. I had to bake them at 325 for about 17 minutes that was all it took good thing I was watching. Still tasty thanks for the recipe.

I add buttermilk to the milk to make a whole cup. Also I vary recipe with ground pecans or almonds, cinnamon, cardomon, and golden raisins or a dried fruit mixture. Top them with sparkling sugar or cinnamon sugar. Always get rave reviews!

Good muffins!

These muffins were slightly sweet and very good. I made them just as written but the dough was very thick and heavy just like cookie dough. I added an extra 1/4cup of milk and they turned out perfect. Next time I may try some of the variations and additions suggested by other reviewers but my family liked these pretty much as the recipe is written. FranJ

I made two batches using this base recipe today, one blueberry and one cranberry. I added vanilla and a pinch of cinnamon, and subbed half the flour to whole wheat for the blueberry (personal preference, I do in all my baking). For the cranberry, I simply added a tiny bit of lemon extract, orange zest and the juice of the one mandarin I used… the blueberry is delicious and I’m dying to try the cranberry for dessert after dinner tonight! This makes a great fruit muffin base!!!

I have made this at least 10 times in the past few months! Tweaked the recipe a little to suit my needs. Used 1/2 cup oat meal, 1 and a 1/2 cups whole wheat flour. Added 50 ml more milk to the recipe. At the end 1 added 3 tbsp of honey. Then I add 1/2 cup of dried blueberries since we don’t always get fresh or frozen ones. The recipe as it is, makes dry muffins. The changes I made, gave me less dry muffins and it is tastier.

Recipe is quite dry – probably needs more milk and oil. I also added 1/2 tsp of nutmeg and a few drops of honey and the flavor was lovely! I cooked for 18 minutes and they were very well done, so I would even go so far as to say cook for 15-18 minutes, depending on how moist you want them. Good with frozen berries or chocolate chips

I had leftover eggnog and have never been happy with the taste of any eggnog bread recipes I’ve found, so with fingers crossed I tried this. Subbed eggnog for the milk, added 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp vanilla, and threw in whole cranberries (too lazy to chop). Makes them more tasty and moist. Good enough and will keep for using next year’s eggnog, Yay! 🙂

These came out perfect! I added some cinnamon and vanilla as I was going for a sweeter muffin but loved the texture!

OMG these are good! I used 2 C of whole wheat flour. 1/3 cup of agave, 3/4 c of cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, 1/4 c of skim milk, 3 bananas & 3TBLS of cocoa… the perfect snow day treat. We ate them like we hadn’t eaten in 3 days. They did cook in less time also. Great starter muffin recipe.

I just tried these myself & they are delicious! It seems to be a perfect base recipe or it’s great on it’s own. I used whole wheat flour for it all, used coconut oil instead of vegetable oil, raw sugar instead of white sugar, & added 1 tsp of cinnamon & 1 tsp ginger like someone else suggested. I drizzled some honey on top & it added a touch more of sweetness. My husband likes them & he is SO hard to please, especially things that are more healthy for you. Thanks!!

I personally like these. I made mine with applesauce instead of oil and added some spices. They came out good.

I have made this recipe multiple times and it has always worked out for me. I added 1 cup of froze n berries to the muffins and another time I made it with apples by adding 2 tsp. of cinnamon to the dry ingredients and mixing 1 cup of chopped apples to the batter. Both tasted great! But with the berries you can not mix it to much with an electric mixer or your batter will turn gray:( ( I found by experience ) I also topped them with a quick frosting.

Great basic recipe, though I did make a few modifications… I took the suggestion of another user and used applesauce instead of oil, and I also used all whole wheat flour instead of half white and half whole wheat. I added in around 1/3 cup of ground flax, as well as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves (more cinnamon than anything else, but I kind of winged it!) and to compensate for the flax and the amount of whole wheat flour, added around 1/4 cup more almond milk (which I used instead of milk) and 1/4 cup more applesauce. I also added 1/4 cup of honey and cut back the sugar. The result: something that tastes kind of like a honey-whole-wheat muffin with a big of sweet spice. I’m also pretty sure that with some modifications you could make this a vegan recipe, or substitute sucralose for sugar for diabetics. Next time I may add grated apple, or substitute orange juice for milk and add dried cranberries. The possibilities are endless. Again, lovely basic recipe!

changed oil to applesauce, used half splenda and half sugar, added vanilla and cinnamon. Quite good

Just made this to pass out in bagged lunches. They were great.

substituted oil with applesauce, cinnamon and nutmeg as per a suggestion here. They were extremely dry and heavy.

This recipe was AMAZING! Like the others, I did change the recipe. I replaced the sugar with half a cup of honey, the oil for half a cup of applesauce, the egg for two egg whites, and the flours for 2 cups of whole wheat flour. They came out delicious and moist. I will definitely make these again in the future.
