*heavenly* Fiber Muffins image

High-fiber muffins that are full of flavor. Full of apples, carrots and nuts, these muffins are so good and great for you. I adapted this recipe from one that came on a box of Hodgon Mill Mulit-Grain Hot Cereal (found in the gourmet or health food area of a regular grocery store). If you can find the Hodgon Mill hot cereal, use it, but if you can't find it, you can put the same amount of oatmeal in a blender or food chopper and chop until it is very fine. Note: the more you use the lowfat options, the quicker these will cook. Best is to stick to just one or two lowfat options (e.g. just egg whites and skim milk and use veg oil, etc.)

Overall, I thought these muffins were just okay. They're not bad, but they're not amazing either.

These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a fan of the texture of these muffins. They're a bit too dense for my taste.

These muffins didn't rise very well for me. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found these muffins to be a bit bland. I think they could use some more spices, like cinnamon or nutmeg.

These muffins are a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra applesauce next time.

I made these muffins with blueberries instead of applesauce, and they were delicious! I think I might even like them better with blueberries.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover applesauce. I always have a jar of applesauce in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

I love that these muffins are made with whole wheat flour and oats. They're a much healthier option than traditional muffins.

These muffins are heavenly! They're so moist and fluffy, and the flaxseed and oat bran give them a great texture. I also love the hint of cinnamon and nutmeg.
