I also used 1/4 c brown sugar in addition to 1/4 c honey. These muffins turned out great!! I never thought wheat muffins could be so good!

These muffins are great! I did make some adjustments per the other reviews. I used one whole egg, used brown sugar and increased it to about 3/4 cup, added 1/4 tsp. sea salt, and added about a tsp. of vanilla. I also sprinkled sugar in the raw on the tops of the muffins. I baked the muffins at 400 for about 23 minutes and they came out beautifully! They were big and puffy and tasted as good as they looked! Not to sweet and they had a nice fluffy texture. Next time I will try with only egg whites since that makes the muffins practically cholesterol free. These are a keeper! They taste great and are healthier then the average blueberry muffin. Thanks, Carole!

These are very good muffins, and I was surprised at how nice the texture was with 100% whole wheat (though I did use whole wheat pastry flour). I don't like muffins sweet and routinely cut back the sugar 25%, so if these weren't sweet enough for me (even with 3 tablespoons of raw sugar sprinkled on top), most people will want more sugar in these. I followed a lot of other reviewers and used brown sugar instead of honey, one egg, 1/2 tsp salt, and added 1 tsp almond extract. For the reviewer whose blueberries sank, you can toss them with a tablespoon of the dry mixture and stir them at the end to prevent this. Mine were done baking at 19 minutes, but I was prepared for this, since a lot of people mentioned that (and I have never baked muffins longer than say 23 minutes). These were great muffins, especially for being all whole wheat, and I would definitely make them again — with 2-4 more tablespoons of brown sugar. Thanks!

I was glad to find a 100% whole-wheat recipe, since we just got a flour mill recently. A made a couple of small changes. I added 1/4 tsp salt, cut the honey in half and added 1/4 cup brown sugar in its place. My wife and kid thought they should be sweeter, but I loved them. They rose quite a bit and were surprisingly fluffy. I buttered them up while warm and enjoyed them with a nice glass of ice-cold milk. YUM!
