I just made this recipe I substituted raisings for frozen berries, coconut  oil  for butter and by mistake  I added the water that was intended to use to soak the raisins. I also used stevia instead of sugar or syrup. Even though  I converted the quantity  the right  way I think it needed more sweet.

Consistency  was excellent . I will try again with more stevia or real sugar.

Used Stevia and Dates instead. Absolutely delicious and incredibly easy recipe. New favorite!

This makes a lovely muffin – so light and tasty. We didn’t have any raisins, so I substituted figs and dates and added a large handful of walnuts. We didn’t have quick oats, either, so I have everything a quick whir in the Vitamix. They came out delicious!

Made them tonight but without the raisins.  I should have substituted the raisins for something else.  I put shredded coconut flakes (from real coconuts that I dried in the oven).  I missed something because they’re not sweet enough.  Will try again with blueberries or bananas next time.

I was not clear on the water….was the 3/4 cup of water to add to the mix or use to soak the raisins….?

The water is used to soak the raisins, per the recipe directions: “Soak raisins in warm water to cover; set aside.”

These are my new favorite muffins! My husband and I have had them practically every day for breakfast since I found this page two months ago. I have Celiac, so to have a muffin that doesn’t have 12 different flours and is 300 calories is awesome! Thank you!!!

I added flaked coconut, chopped peeled apples 2 bananas and walnuts. I also substituted the organic sugar with honey and molasses.  The best muffin.

My husband and I love these! I increase the flaxmeal to 1/2 cup and decrease oats to 1 cup and I use agave nectar for sweetener and add chopped apple and chopped pecans- family guests really like them too and by the way, they are very good cold also!

Sandy – try adding another egg. Glad you liked them though!

I made these with a slight variation…subbed out 1/2 cup oats for 1/2 cup berry vega protein powder to boost protein content.  I omitted raisins and added 1 cup mixed berries instead.  I subbed unsweetened vanilla almond milk for the water and used water in place of milk.  Otherwise, stuck to rest of recipe.  They tasted great, but didn’t hold together as much as I wanted…crumbled a bit too much.  Maybe less liquid next time since the berries add some moisture?

I soaked the raisins the first time but haven’t since.

Will try these with some unprocessed craisons in them sounds like a good breakfast alternative to breakfast bars.
