“These came out just as expected. I added 2 tablespoon of flaxseed for extra fiber, and I didn’t have any honey so I substituted it with coconut sugar and a little bit of the syrup. They came out probably because of the flaxseed, but they were very good.” — a cook, 4★
“I've literally made these muffins 100 times now for my young son and he loves them. They're so versatile. I add extra veg and some chocolate chips and they're amazing. Best recipe ever.” — a cook, 5★
