I added almond pulp and honey to the recipe, and replaced cherries and almonds with cranberries and walnuts, and also replaced the wheat flour with rolled oats. So good!

Thanks Roni! Just wanted to make sure I didn’t do something wrong though I couldn’t se what I could have done wrong :)

Amy – These have no additional sweetener so I can totally see them tasting bitter to some. My sugar tolerance is way low. Simply add some honey or even a 1/3 cup of raw sugar.

I always try to warn folks on my “experimental” recipes like this because they really may not come out.

Roni, these muffins looked fabulous but we thought they turned out bitter. Wondered if they needed a little splenda or if I messed something up, but I don’t see where I did. Any thoughts? They did smell fabulous but the taste wasn’t there on mine. Thanks!!

Roni try adding 1/2t baking soda & 1/2t salt to the next batch. I was just reading about this problem on another blog and this was what was recommended. I tried in WW Corn Muffins and it worked GREAT!

Yum! For All Bran recipes, do you use the flakes or the twigs? I LOVE muffins :)

Ooooooh this looks so delicious! I love it when you make recipes that have small servings, 6 muffins is perfect for Jon and I.
I look forward to making these :D

No worries! I have a fridge full of feta.. I’m sure it will make it’s way into some of my ideas. ;)

I do miss the feta challenge, but these look delicious!

Oh wow! So so good Roni. They worked really well in the muffin top pan. I think I will make a double batch to throw in my RV freezer for our trip.

I liked the look of this recipe so much I jumped up from the couch threw it together and they are now in my oven. After reading your comments about the fluffy factor I decided to use my muffin top pan (from Vitalicious). I will let you know how they turn out.

I agree.. but people expect muffins to be those giant fluffy monstrosities they sell at bakeries and such. You know the ones I’m talking about! ;)

I am willing to forego fluffiness in my muffins for the nutrition. Pretty soon you forget that muffins are supposed to be light and fluffy! These look yummy!

They look delicious, I love fresh cherries!

I’ve never made all-bran muffins, but maybe you could whip the egg white before adding it (like a meringue), or add more egg white? I’m not sure how it would taste (or even react with the other ingredients), but maybe making a yeast-based muffin might add some lightness.
