Ooohhh...these are so so good Mike. I love a bran muffin and these with the addition of the flax seed meal are wonderfully moist and delish. I used a combination of 1/2 wholewheat flour and 1/2 all purpose. I also used one egg in place of the egg substitute. Also, I took your advice and used 1/2 cup splenda and 1/4 cup regular sugar. They are still plenty sweet. A great low-fat treat. :-) Made for HolidayTag.

This recipe makes wonderful, full-flavored, good for you muffins! I made 2 batches-one as written (with the exception of replacing Splenda with sugar) the second one I used whole wheat flour instead of unbleached flour. Both batches were devoured in minutes. The majority of the people liked the ones made with whole wheat flour better. I think next time I will try Stevia and see how they come out.

GREAT, super-healthy muffins! I omitted the oil, used all splenda (though a reduced amount), used buttermilk, added 1/2 cup skim milk powder, and an extra 1/2 tsp. baking soda (as per Splenda baking tips). These turned out fluffy and high for the little fat they had in them. Tasty and a feel-good muffin! :) Thanks so much!

This muffin actually tasted good!! Most of the healthy good for you muffin are not good for your taste buds, but these muffins are quite different. I changed absolutly nothing, which is VERY odd for me since I tend to always tweak with recipes. Man this is an excellent recipe, I plan on making these again and maybe throw in some chocolate chips if I am feeling a bit indulgent.
