Excellent treat
I have made this a couple of times and the family loves it. A family member now has type 2 diabetes but won’t stop eating store bought blueberry muffins. So today I tried something different. I made this with whole grain flour (ground in my vitamix dry container a mix of wheat berries and kamut). Used almond milk instead of skim milk and monk fruit sweetener instead of sugar (this is safe for diabetics). To top it off I didn’t have a muffin pan so I used a bunt cake pan. Increased the bake time to 30 minutes. Love it.

go to recipe
this recipe is the best. Make sure you put water in one of the muffin tin holders, this gives it a nice dome

In the oven!
Being a week into owning my vitamix, I was thrilled to find this autumny recipe! I replaced the sugar (and some oil/milk) with very ripe bananas, and used Lily’s stevia-sweetened chocolate chips to cut down on the sugar. I also upped the spice. Hoping they turn out great!
(The description mentions walnuts, although they’re not included in the recipe... will have to add some (or pecans!) next time!)

Okay, but needed more pumpkin
Followed the recipes exactly. I think that it would taste better with a little more pumpkin. I will definitely try again and alter the ingredients, but as it stands I thought they were good but not great.
