I used to make them quite a bit, but haven't made them in quite a while.
They are good tho.

i made a batch last night and shared them with a friend at work who is on a new medicine that is messing with his bathroom habits. told him i'd make him another batch to take home for the weekend and see how it "goes". LOL!!!!

i made them with WL Gold and banana flavoring and they are ugly, (real dark) but taste good!!!

I wish the fiber in these (and other things) helped me as well as it does some people! TMI
I've just started thyroid meds, and it says I'm supposed to go easy on fiber (not to mention Flax), but I need it too much to pay too much attention to that. Hope it doesn't interfere with the meds, and hope they help.
Haven't been taking them long enough to tell any difference yet. Says it may take several weeks to tell.

Hope they help your friend!

I just made these muffins and have high hopes! I added extra cinnamon on someone's early suggestion, changed the 1 Tbs of vanilla to 2 tsp vanilla snd 1 tsp butter flavoring and kept the original maple flavoring addition,used almond flour instead of soy flour, used Splenda, added 1 Tbs sour cream..and I think that's all the tweaking I did. The nutmeg was freshly ground so I didn't up the amt. I am all out of walnuts , though I looked really hard hoping they would appear magically..so I just tossed in the few almond slices I had and decided against chopping extra almonds. I used the larger muffin pan and made 9, baked 15 mins and a toothpick test said that was enough time. I'm going to make a cream cheese frosting, flavored with orange extract and a little org zest , plus a sweetener ...undecided which ( Whey Low Powdered is an option but it's better to sit in moisture something or other overnight to dissolve better..or Stevia ..or Splenda...or Whey Low granular. the that dissolves better over night in cold wet things too like the powdered.

I've been taking notes from all the comments that sounded useful for my purposes and can't wait to try these in the suggested way. I enjoy blueberries with lemon, so I may flavor a batch with lemon extract and zest, then make a blueberry sauce for an alongside or over these when split on a plate....and a dollop of Sweetened whipped cream ( haven't found the Land of Lakes whipped cream spray can yet IF that's still available). If Jenny were near, I'd thank her for posting. They smell good and I'm sure I'll be making these again. sandi

I'm back to say these are tasty and satisfying muffins. Can't wait to try more flavors. The orange cream cheese frosting was great with them and making just a little.. ..maybe 3 to 4 Tbs allows for variety in the next frosting .I plan to frost these after warming the muffins ( about 20 secs) each time from the fridge.

mmmmmm reading this thread again makes me want to make them again! but what flavor combo...... decisions decisions....

Funny you should post that, Dinah! I had tried twice to send you a message to ask what flavor you liked BEST in these. Now That I've made them, I can see how versatile they will be. They really ARE scrumptious! I have 2 left of the maple cinnamon and used only butter with them after heating this AM. The other two frostings were vanilla cream cheese and orange cream cheese. I liked BOTH!

I'm leaning toward raspberry lemon muffins next time since the raspberry syrup is just staring me down every time I open the cabinet. It would be easy to make the muffins one flavor and then have a syrup to pour over after poking like a poke cake...or to thicken and swirl the 2nd flavor in for a contrasting color / flavor. I could make them raspberry flavor and then make the lemon curd, poke a hole in the tops and add the curd then top with sweetened whipped cream. By the time I actually make these , coconut may be on my mind. LOL so it's a tuff decision! The extract and desicated coconut will need their turn in the muffin arena. Bending a fruit rule I'm used to abiding by, I might try blueberries and then a lemon muffin flavor. I love the two together,

Has anyone tried these as waffles? As dressing as someone mentioned in early pages? Any other applications? sandi

P.S.
BTW, Dinah, my message to you included a rave over the yum factor I read in the eggplant recipe in Geo's bk, if that was yours. Can't wait to find the Japanese eggplant to try it.
