These are good for breakfast with good flavor. I thought the flax flavors paired exceptionally well with the apples. I forgot to add the nuts, so ours was without and fine that way. I did find this to be a little crumbly and slightly on the dry side. The batter seemed a little thick, so maybe this could use a little more milk or another Tbs or two of oil. Easy to make and healthy.

This is a 10 star recipe! Loved these. They were moist and perfectly dense without being rubbery and just sweet enough. I left out the nuts, added 1 tsp ground cinnamon and doubled the recipe to fit into my mega muffin tins. I mixed a strusel topping which I layered into the muffin itself and used gala apples. I have been on the search for a "bran" muffin that could actually be enjoyed for quite some time. This is the one. Absolutley perfect in every way. Oct 22, 2006 Made these again this weekend and chopped the apples larger, added nuts and accidentally used 1 tsp soda instead of 1/2 tsp, they still turned out delish. I didn't realize this was a recipe I made before because I was using a print out vice the zaar cookbook. I think it speaks well of this recipe that it appealed to me twice and was delicious just as many times. I will definitely make this again and again!

My whole family LOVED these muffins! I used applesauce in place of the oil making these even healthier. Thank you for a wonderful recipe. I'll be making these often.

A very healthy tasting muffin. The flavor develops the next day. We found the appearance a little on the rough side and felt like the dough/fruit percentage might need to be a little higher.

These muffins were pretty good! I did make several small changes, however. I used applesauce instead of the oil, and i didn't want the white flour, so i just substituted more flax and whole wheat flour. also, i used brown sugar instead...just a personal preference. my muffins turned out very moist and delicious...i think i'm going to make more today.

Good healthy muffins. I did find the batter very thick, and the muffins a bit dry so would follow the other reviewers and add a couple of tablespoons of applesauce next time. Not bad, just the kind of muffin you may want to spread with a little apple butter or butter. The apples, nuts and flax seeds go really well together. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Great recipe! Thanks for posting it. For the person that mentioned it is bland, I recommend adding a teaspoon of apple pie or pumpkin pie spice to give it a kick!

Yum-O!!! I will be making these regularly. In the middle of putting everything together I realized i didn't have any milk....yikes. So I searched the fridge and found a cup of yoplait light apple streusle yogurt and used that instead...I know, weird huh, but it worked! Who knew? I too added some cinnamon, also a dash of nutmeg and used sunflower seeds instead of nuts since I didn't have any of those either! They are SO MOIST and delicious. And good for you to boot.

I made these from the box. I added a tsp of cinnamon and a couple more tablespoons of water to moisten them up a bit. I also added a little raw sugar to the top. The 3 year old the 9 year old and the husband all ate them and said yum, so that says it all. These are even better if instead of apples you add two bananas and some walnuts. My kids let the bananas go bad on purpose just so I will make the muffins.
