I do think people who use this recipe should read the reviews first. I have included preparation and cooking times, but these are only guesses.”

  • “I made half the recipe and got 12 small muffins.They are moist.And they were in the oven 20 minutes.They’re not too sweet, just perfect.I used only cinnamon, no nutmeg so I used more cinnamon.I didn’t have natural bran so I used oatmeal bran.They have a great taste.And I can’t taste the molasses.Thanks mianbao :)Made for your win in Bargain Basement tag game”

  • “Wow! These were moist and healthy-tasting. I veganized ’em and added some oats tossed with brown sugar and molasses to the top. I liked them plain and with the topping.Great on the go breakfast! AND a punch of veggies!!”

  • “very nice recipe– the hint of nutmeg was great!!! easy to make, yummie and moist andfreezes well.little one will love it too.”

  • “I’m sorry, I may have done something wrong, but I made this and was very dissapointed.The molasses flavor was far to over-powering for me, I used black-strap though, and that’s pretty strong.I may tweak it a bit because it does make the full double batch.”
