I DOUBLED it and turned it into a lemon ginger cranberry bundt... YOWZA... SO. GOOD. Thank you for providing a recipe that matches my baking style: whole fours, natural sugars, no added oils/butters. I usually try to change 'regular' recipes and they end up too dry, too moist, etc. Thanks for taking the guessing work out of trying to make a wholesome baked treat! I used approx: 1C spelt, 1C whole wheat, 1/2 C wheat germ 2 tsp Baking soda 1 tsp Baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 4 egg whites (1/2 C from a carton) 1 C yogurt (1/2 C lemon, 1/2 C plain) 3 tbsp honey 1 C applesauce zest of 1 lemon (~1 tbsp) ~1 tbsp grated fresh ginger ~1.5 tbsp finely chopped crystallized ginger 4 tbsp lemon juice (3 tbsp one lemon + 1 tbsp bottled) no lemon extract (don't have any) 1/4 C poppy seeds (= 4tbsp) 1/3 C dried sweetened cranberries Baked at 325 for 50 min The cranberries and sweetened lemon yogurt made it sweeter so I might cut down on the honey next time since I like my treats more spicy and tart ;) Thanks again!

I used approx:
1C spelt, 1C whole wheat, 1/2 C wheat germ
2 tsp Baking soda
1 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
4 egg whites (1/2 C from a carton)
1 C yogurt (1/2 C lemon, 1/2 C plain)
3 tbsp honey
1 C applesauce
zest of 1 lemon (~1 tbsp)
~1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
~1.5 tbsp finely chopped crystallized ginger
4 tbsp lemon juice (3 tbsp one lemon + 1 tbsp bottled)
no lemon extract (don’t have any)
1/4 C poppy seeds (= 4tbsp)
1/3 C dried sweetened cranberries

Baked at 325 for 50 min
The cranberries and sweetened lemon yogurt made it sweeter so I might cut down on the honey next time since I like my treats more spicy and tart ;) Thanks again!

I food processed (is that a verb?) into a kind of chunky paste that I mixed into the wet ingredients. We'll see. I have a question about sifting the flour- when I sifted it I found that all of my nice fluffy bran was still in the sifter so I dumped it in- don't want to miss out on the fiber! What does everyone else do? Also does anyone add any of that odorless, tasteless, oddly appealing fiber powder to any of their baking?

They turned out HUGE, fluffy, moist and just the right amount of sweetness and lemon flavor. My husband even liked them, which is amazing - he's a huge lemon-poppyseed-muffin fan so I was looking for a healthier alternative for him. Thought I'd share!

I love making muffins but I'm not always good with not overmixing the batter which gives me 'tough' muffins *very sad* when that happens! I try so hard - not sure why this happens to me! Any tips to get the right batter consistency?
