Whole Grain Blueberry-Ful Muffins

"I was forced to improvise some ingredients in my usual muffin recipe this morning, and boy was I glad! These were seriously good (my husband had 8 of them in one sitting) and you would never guess they are healthy. Makes a baker's dozen (or 12 biggies)."

  1. With a few tweaks, these could be pretty tasty. I made these the other night, with only a couple changes: one whole egg, 2 T canola oil instead of the oil and applesauce called for (I wanted to use butter, but didn't have any that wasn't frozen, lol), and added a t of vanilla, and about 1/2 t almond extract. I also sprinkled the tops with sugar before putting them in the oven. The texture of these muffins is pretty good, but they had very little flavor. I was very glad I put the sugar on top, because that definitely helped. Next time, I will use butter, and probably add a bit more sugar and extracts. Oh, and I also soured the milk with lemon juice instead of vinegar, and I ended up with 11 muffins, rather than 13. Will probably make these again in the future.
     
  2. Not sure what happened, but these muffins had absolutely no taste. They don't taste BAD...there's just no taste. I followed the recipe exactly so I'm not sure what happened. Thanks for sharing anyway!
     
  3. Followed your recipe right on down & used frozen berries (Still haven't found great looking fresh blueberries anywhere around these past 2 weeks!) & the muffins were very nice ~ Easy to make & great on the taste buds (& the waist, for that matter!) Thanks for sharing this great keeper! [Made & reviewed as a THANK YOU for playing with us in Please Review My Recipe during the recent tour]
     
  4. These weren't bad but weren't really memorable either. Like the previous poster, I found they had very little flavor and I also ended up with 11 muffins.
     
  5. These were great, and they froze well. Next time I make them I'll try substituting stevia extract for the sugar.

  3. These were pretty good. They have that "healthy food" taste, so I couldn't really compare them to regular muffins, but they were still good. I also used Splenda and used lemon juice instead of vinegar to make the buttermilk, I also grated a little lemon zest in as it goes very well with blueberries and brings out their flavour. Definitely a good recipe for those watching the waist or wanting to get more fibre in their diet, but I don't know that I'd consider them a viable substitute for normal muffins. They're closer to granola bars! :D
     
  4. I liked these muffins. They are kind of heavy but that might be because of the substitutions I made. I accidentally let an egg yolk fall into the batter and I used buttermilk instead of the soured milk. Plus, I added 1/2 cup of pecans.
     
  5. These were delicious even though I made a few substitutions. I veganized them by subbing Ener G egg replacer for the egg whites, and soy milk (soured with vinegar) instead of dairy. I also used agave nectar instead of sugar and reduced the milk slightly. I used fresh blueberries. I loved the moist, fluffy texture and the not-too-sweet flavor of these muffins. I will make them again. Thanks for posting! Made for Veggie Swap 13.

I live in Knoxville, TN with DH, my beautiful son, and the most spoiled cat on the planet! I grew up in Cincinnati and landed in TN by way of Bloomington, IN and Santa Fe, NM. Needless to say, it's been a long, strange trip!! To explain the name: I was veg for 11 years, vegan for 1. In the last year or so I started eating poultry and fish again, but my brother-in-law's nickname for me (smelly vegetarian) has always stuck. Also...thanks a million to my Zaar fairy godperson :)!!! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Holiday-plaid_HPI.gif"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/cc-banner-7-09.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/590105/hcabc.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/My-3-Chefs%20banners/my3chefs2008Small.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
