another beth elon recipe that has become a favorite with us this summer. this is a hefty salad that goes really well with some good farm bread and is a meal in itself. prep time is mostly chill time.

💬 Reviews (I really enjoyed these! I made a few changes for my personal taste: I added 3/4 cup Splenda & used 1/3 cup applesauce for the butter for a moist muffin. I also added 1 tbsp cinn & vanilla. Obviously, I have a sweet tooth! I sprinkled a cinn/Splenda mix on top before baking for about 15 min. Delicious! Thank you for sharing!)

easy and quick. this is great with pretty much anything. maybe some grilled steak, seafood, chicken or even a big bowl of bean soup. these are so simple to make and have tons of flavor that really make a plain meal really special.

💬 Reviews (These seemed to rise right in the pan b4 I put them in the oven! Whole wheat doesn't rise very well, so I flled the cups almost full and got 10. They were a bit salty, but that may be bcz I forgot to put the final 1 T of brown sugar in. I can see these would be good for add ins, like apple, cinnamon, raisins, etc. etc. Light tasting (and they didn't FEEL heavy either.))

this is soooooo good! great over rice or...

💬 Reviews (Excellent basic whole wheat muffin recipe. Made exactly according to recipe and they rose very nicely. I can't say that there were overly moist nor were they too dry. Not a big fan of 100% whole wheat anything so the next time I'll add some raisins.)

💬 Reviews (very decent recipe that stands up well to variations!! i added 1/4 cup wheat germ, used 5 T brown sugar :), and used oil instead of butter. they came out a lighter brown color, not dry at all. i actually wouldn't add a thing (fruit, nuts, etc..). i had these with pumpkin butter, which is very sweet, and it was a perfect match... i'm sure any jam would go great as well. by the way, this was extremely simple to put together -- very few and common ingredients. they're also healthy enough that i don't feel guilty eating them in the mornings or as a snack :) thanks so much for the recipe!!)
