I haven't made these muffins yet, but will someday as part of my quest to try all of the recipes in my cookbooks. I really like most of their pancake and waffle recipes and quite a few of their muffins and quick breads are among my favorites, whole grain or not. I found that chocolate and whole grains are great (their brownie recipe is my personal favorite), but I don't like the taste of whole wheat in a white cake, most scones or biscuits or cobbler toppings, or many pie crusts. I won't make ones I don't love again just for the extra fiber; I would rather just eat more fruits and veggies and have the regular version if it tastes better. Though some of their fillings and frostings were good enough to transpose on a regular cobbler topping or pie crust or cake! The oddest recipes in the book were some of the puddings, which got a bite each (tropical quinoa custard, if I recall - bleh!). They of course have lots of delicious whole grain loaf breads, which you could always make at 66% in your machine, although doing the math might not be worth your time. This book has been such an adventure and taught me so much, though, and I am very glad that I got it. And you can't beat their customer service and baking hotline!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-24408927194999651092007-04-09T22:07:00.000-04:002007-04-09T22:07:00.000-04:00i love cooking with whole grains. i have that book...i love cooking with whole grains. i have that book and have been averaging about 2 a week since i go tit for christmas. i LOVE IT it does have many lower fat and cal recipes tho, that was one of the higher ones i think. the next time you make pie crust, sub a little barley lour for the reg flour. it sounds weird but its AMAZING!!! yeah i cook/ bake with whole grains all the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-38244140875761423202007-04-09T16:20:00.000-04:002007-04-09T16:20:00.000-04:00I am trying to cook with more whole grains.
