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!)

Yummy muffins
These are good, although I typically replace some or all of the oil with applesauce and reduce the baking soda by 1/2. I appreciate the weights given along with the volume measurements, especially since it seems as though the weight of standard ingredients, such as flour, varies between recipes (for example, 125 g per cup here, another recipe had 145 g per cup). I'm assuming this is a reflection of different people creating the recipes?

Too much soda
I made up the batter but it tasted way too salty...then I realized it was the baking soda. I made another batch of batter without soda and mixed the two. They turned out perfectly. They domed up nicely and they taste really good!
