This was my first time making muffins - replaced raisins with craisins - turned out great!

I've made a lot of healthy muffins in my day. I can't find a recipe that I'm totally in love with, but these were pretty good. They come out of the oven looking just about the same as when they went in. They tasted better after they had cooled. I used large golden raisins, and a t of vanilla since I was using plain yogurt. Instead of the ginger I used my homemade pumpkin pie spice. I halved the recipe & was expecting to make 6 muffins, but ended up with 12. They are hard to get out of the paper liners, so I would spray Pam in them next time. I also left out the Barley Malt Flour since I didn't have any.

Excellent. These muffins are very good, although they are dense, they are great for breakfast with OJ or coffee, or a mid-day snack. One of the best recipes I've found on this site thus far, would recommend to anyone.

tried it without raisins, with raisins, and tonite made it with chopped apples. will probably try it with chopped pears and alter the spices to suit. it is a good base hi-fiber muffin that can be altered each time you make it. able to toss in walnuts and a bit of ground flax seed meal. tried it with nonfat sour cream instead of plain yogurt. tried it with yogurt too. it's really a good go-to kind of reliable recipe that can stand up to a lot of changes to suit.

i used a half-cup of cranberries & a half-cup of raisins because I love, love, love cranberries, but other than that followed the directions exactly and these came out GREAT. Mildly sweet, dense but soft (not dry at all)... really wonderful with coffee in the morning.

Great recipe with lots of fiber! I used buttermilk in place of the milk and yogurt. Also used 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon ginger. Turned out very moist with the buttermilk!

These muffins are pretty good. They are easy to make compared with typical bran muffins. I find them to be sweet enough, but they are definitely bland. Either a whole lot of spices or a fruity sauce like strawberry rhubarb might add some excellent flavor. Adding 2 cups blueberries instead of raisins was an excellent idea.

The only changes I made was to add 1/4 cup of flax seen meal and I used vanilla yogurt instead of plain because that is what I had on hand. I also omitted the raisins because we don't like them. I thought it was the perfect sweetness with the vanilla yogurt, so if you are finding them not sweet enough, try that. They definitely do the job of cleaning out the system, which is why I think most of us seek these out. :)
