LOVE LOVE LOVE these! I have made them several times and done variations using wheat bran instead of oat bran, adding diced garlic, or have even made them using finely chopped apple. The version with finely chopped apple goes great with pork chops! Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe - makes eating healthy much easier!

I really like this recipe--I think it's going to be a regular dinner one for me, as these muffins are so easy to whip up and are so healthy. I liked the simplicity of the recipe--I think it really allowed the flavor of the grains to shine through. We had them alongside a spicy cauliflower and sweet potato soup. (Note: I used 1 1/2 cups of kamut flour and 1/2 cup of cornmeal instead of 2 cups of wholewheat flour. The cornmeal was a nice touch, I think.)

These were good! I wouldn't say spectacular, but they were nice paired with a strong flavored soup...tonight we had them with a bean soup and they held up well, especially texture-wise. I got 12 really good sized muffins out of the recipe...I can't imagine fitting it all into 10 muffin tins!
