Great combo of healthy ingredients for a great muffin! Marky


These turned out okay. I used wheat bulgar instead of wheat germ and it was way too crunchy for my taste. Also, 1/2 of my recipe got a bit overcooked so the muffin stuck to the paper and we lost 1/2 of the muffin in the peeling process :-(


I'd stick with the wheat germ as indicated in the recipe. Mine turned out fantastic when I used the wheat germ.
