I usually love bran muffins, but these were just dense and not very flavorful. I even added vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg to some of them and that didn't make them much better. These just aren't that great.

Very boring flavor. Not sweet at all. I even added 3T brown sugar to the honey. Would not make again.

These were pretty good. I think you could make them a bit more healthy by substituting the oil with apple sauce. I didn't have any lemon juice so I had to omit that ingredient, it would probably add a nice pop though. I think the muffins was a bit heavy and dense.

These muffins are great! I made a few changes. I used a 1/2 cup of ground flax seed instead of wheat germ. I used 1 tsp of vanilla instead of the 2 tsp of lemon juice. I made 13 muffins instead of 12 and only baked them for 20 minutes. They are moist, not too sweet and they contain healthy ingredients - definitely a make again recipe!

This recipe is good but I'm afraid it needs a bit of tweeking. Next time I will add more lemon at least double the amount called for as I couldn't taste the lemon at all. I may put in some lemon zest too. I found them a bit dry so I'll probably add more milk and lastly I would add either quite a bit more honey or some sugar as they are not sweet at all. I really liked the texture and it was nice to have a healthy muffin for a change.

A very hearty & healthy muffin! I found it very moist and it had the right amount of sweetness. I didn't change a thing and I would for sure make again. THX

Excellent. I opted to go half whole wheat, half white flour -- based on reviews complaining of dry texture. Buttermilk was used in place of milk and lemon juice. I was low on poppyseeds so used 1/6 cup instead, which I thought was perfect. Keep an eye on your oven, my batch baked in 15 minutes. I was surprised how moist these were. and just the perfect amount of sweetness. These were great with a little pat of butter on top. The recipe is a keeper.

Smell wonderful, look wonderful...taste great! Love how healthy these muffins are! I used maple syrup in place of honey (didn't have any honey) and bulgur wheat in place of wheat germ. I doubled the recipe but only used 1/3 cup poppy seeds per reviews. Mine came out a little dry--I baked for 25 min. but will check at 20 next time. I also added raisins for a little extra sweetness and sprinkled tops with cinnamon/sugar mixture before baking. YUM! And..healthy!

These were great! I made them exactly as called for and they tasted perfect. My whole family loved them including the two teenagers. Its wonderful to find a healthy & low cal alternative to those huge store muffins. Thanks for the recipe.

I made these according to what I had on hand. They are very good and not too sweet which I like. I didn't have wheat germ so I left that out. I filled my lacking 1 cup of bananas to the top with yogurt and cut the poppyseeds in half. I added raisins and that tastes good too because it adds some sweetness. They turned out moist for me, probably because I left out the wheat germ. I will be making these again, thanks for the great recipe!

These were really good. Not quite as moist as desireable, but perhaps that was because I didn't have any germ so I added ground flax instead. They have great flavor and chewy texture. Will definitely make again.

We made these as written (I forgot to read the reviews until the muffins were already in the oven). My kids are gobbling them up and asking for more. I agree that the poppy seeds are overkill and would probably use about 1/2 the amount next time. Otherwise maybe I'll make some of the changes recommended but we all thought they were good as written. Thanks!

I like these muffins for healthy non-sweet breakfast. I used ground flax seed instead of wheat germ, maple syrup instead of honey just because I didn't have wheat germ and honey on hand. I added 1 tsp of vanilla. It turned out very good! It is not as moist as I expected but it's still good!

These are an excellent way to start off your day. I am going to make these again and maybe add some blueberries too. This is not a sweet muffin (if that is what you are looking for), but it is very satisfying.

really tasty! i would use a little bit more banana just to bring out that flavor. on a side note, i could not find wheat bran ANYWHERE, so i ended up buying wheat bran cereal and crushing it up. it worked okay. probably would be even better if i could find the real thing.

I've made these muffins a few times. They always turn out good (also very healthy). I recently made them using chocolate chips instead of the poppyseeds. They were heavenly!
