One of those "wish I could give it more than 5 stars" recipes. Not a sickly sweet muffin, the taste of the molasses really comes thru. The amount of choc chips adds just the right touch of sweetness. I did make a slight change and that was to use 1/2 white flour and 1/2 wheat flour. I also used egg beaters instead of egg whites - sorta the same thing. Without a doubt this recipe is a keeper. Thanks for sharing what will be a nice healthy addition to my children's lunch boxes!

I don't think you would go astray icing these and serving them as heathier cupcakes. They're quite sweet and the molasses and chocolate flavors go together surprisingly (to me at least) well. I think I wouldn't have minded using part chocolate chips, part raisins. I had to quarter the recipe (that is, make only 6 muffins) because BF started whining that he doesn't like chocolate chip muffins when I told him I was going to make these. My batter was a little thin, but I think this had to do with making only a quarter of the recipe. I just added more flour until the batter looked like proper quickbread consistancy. I subbed whole wheat pastry flour for the white (making these even healthier!) I really enjoy these- I think they're terrific to subdue a chocolate craving with something more nutritious than a handful of chocolate chips! Thanks ladypit.

Easy to put together and one of those -you have everything in the house to make it- recipes. Made very pretty color muffins. I must have had some pretty strong molasses, I'll cut back a bit next time on that. Very easy, very nice, pretty healthy.

I just made these muffins for my family and OH MY GOODNESS, these are absolutely delicious! I ground my oatmeal in the blender before adding to the recipe for the texture and used 3 whole eggs as suggested in another review as I didn't want to waste the yolks and had nothing to use them in right away. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. This is such an easy recipe for children to help make. This is definitely a keeper! Thank you! **A tip I have found helpful with the muffin liners, if you are having trouble with muffins sticking, I spray the papers with cooking spray before adding the mixture and the papers pull right off.

Great muffins for anyone who likes the taste of molasses — I made them with 3 whole eggs, instead of just egg whites. I also added a little more veg. oil than called for in the recipe. They disappeared quickly. Thanks!

Delicious muffins. I used half white flour and half whole wheat flour. Wouldn't change anything else about them. Thanks for sharing.

These were SO good! I was asked to make more... before they were even gone the first time! I used paper liners and we had a bit of trouble getting them out of the wrappers. Plus, I think that the liners made them a little more dense than they would be without. So next time, I won't use the liners. The flavour of these is great. I, personally, would like a bit more molasses flavour but everyone else thought it was just perfect. I loved the texture as well. They were dense and yet weren't "heavy". The oatmeal gave a nice crunch to them as well. Thanks for this!

This really is a great little recipe. Made half — 12 muffins at a time is fine! Used the converter onsite to cut 1/3 cup sugar to 3T. Did find I needed to add about 1/4 c. more flour for the consistency necessary for a wonderful muffin...and they are. As others did — used 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour. Will make again..often...

Made 6 HUGE sized-muffins; tasted pretty good and stayed moist.

The taste was good but they were a wee bit dry, even with the oil. I reduced the oven temp to 375 and used full-fat milk. thanks ladypit!...Kitten
