  1. 5 for flavor, 3 for directions. I thought the baking time seemed long, and I'm glad I trusted my instinct. I baked for 20 minutes, and the muffins were slightly overdone....will try 15-18 minutes nexxt time. These made 15 muffins for me. That said, the flavor of these is really great and I love that there's no white flour in these, so they are a definite repeat for me. Thanks for posting!
     
  2. I liked the flavor but, I have a bit of a sweet tooth. If I were to make this recipe again, I'd add some sugar (maybe a half cup) to the list of WET ingredients and a pinch of salt to the DRY ingredients. "The Wallaces" commented earlier correctly that the temperature is WRONG in the directions! I'd bake at 380 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes and halfway through the cooking make sure to rotate the pans to promote even cooking. I substituted plain all purpose flour for the wheat flour and I omitted the wheat germ as well. This recipe made 15 muffins for me. I would try the recipe again but next time with the wheat flour and also sugar. (I can't ignore that sweet tooth!)
