these were great! soft and moist and nutritious.. i didnt put the protein pwd in (didnt have) i threw in some hemp seeds and subbed one cup of the flour with a mix of wheat bran, wheat germ, and oats.. i also added some vanilla and did half cottage cheese and half yogurt.. i didnt have bran flakes so i used some all bran and it worked great. also instead of the margarine i but in some prune butter and a little oil.. and threw some walnuts into the whole thing!. seems like a lot of changes but its what i do to almost all recipes.. i baked mine for about 15 min and was afraid it was too long and they would be dry but they werent and everyone raved... (next time i will still bake them for a minute less).. thanks for a super healthy high protein and fiber muffin.. its just what i was looking for!! -
The only thing that I would alter in the recipe would be changing the margarine to butter buds, spray butter, or some kind oil that doesn't impose a lot of taste such as extra light olive or peanut oil.

I live near Newcastle on the east coast of Australia. I'm 43 years old. My passions are reading, writing and drawing. Also keeping fit and sharing interests with sons.
(Hence the Tomboy nick). Cooking and housework are not my favourite things, but I still like to eat...so all my recipes are fast and easy! I'm a strong believer in the idea that great food doesn't have to be complicated.
