I’m always trying different muffin recipes and these were tender& delicious! Working with what I had on hand – I used agave instead of honey, and frozen cherries (which I quartered). As suggested I mixed them with a little flour. Mandarin zest & instead of buttermilk I used a combination of milk, mandarin juice and Greek yogurt. And I did sprinkle some raw sugar on top. These are highly adaptable and would be a great base recipe for any combination of delicious add ins! They are some of the tastiest muffins I’ve ever made, thank you very much!

In reply to Cookie and Kate. Thanks, Kate. I have the dates on my baking soda and powder, so I know that wasn’t an issue. Since you said they won’t rise and dome, I feel like they turned out just right! I gave half of them to a friend, and she loves them too

In reply to Susan Findley. Hi Susan, I'm glad you enjoyed! These don't puff up with rounded tops like you find in some muffins, so don't expect big domes. But if you're worried they didn't rise enough and you didn't overmix, you might test your baking soda and powder, as they can lose effectiveness over time.

This recipe looks amazing! I love how simple the steps are, and the ingredients are easy to find — which is always a win. I tried it today and added a bit of lemon zest for a twist — turned out great! Thanks for sharing, I’ll definitely be coming back for more ideas

The muffins did not rise at all, so I was disappointed at that, but they are deeeelish! And I always TRY not to overmix the batter. So I’m not sure why they didn’t rise, but I don’t care because they’re so good

I am sorry but these muffins fell apart when I removed them from the pan. Followed the recipe exactly not adding the lemon zest. This recipe is not a keeper for me since I have to eat the muffin with a fork.
They are healthy and messy to eat.

Delicious! The lemon zest is delightful. Didn’t have buttermilk so I did the yogurt + milk substitute and they turned out great.

In reply to Sandra N.. Hi Sandra, this recipe calls for wheat bran.

In reply to Wendy. Hi Wendy, I haven't tried this, but if you do, start with at least half the amount of flax seed as it is more dense. There may need to be other modifications for the texture as ewll.

I wondered if you could substitute ground flax seed for the bran or if the quantity would have to change. Any thoughts?
