Sadly, Goodbaker is no longer around, but his recipe will live on. These muffins are healthy, hearty, and make a fulfilling breakfast. Enjoy them with a little dairy-free buttery spread, or grab one on the go.

This is a very flexible recipe. If you don’t have both wheat bran and oat bran, simply substitute with more of the one you do have. If you don’t have either, substitute with more oats. Or if you are missing any of the first 5 ingredients, just substitute with more whole wheat pastry flour.

Uh…not to step on other seemingly-excitable reviewers’ toes, but…no, these muffins came out *excellent*! Came out perfectly as is, but the only small variation I’ve started trying is adding some finely chopped apple (huge weakness for apple-cinnamon flavors). Thank you for a fantastic recipe (as with most on this site). These are now our go-to breakfast muffins!
Awesome! Glad you are enjoying the recipe JD.
Im excited to try these!! I wanted to thank you for posting your recipe right near the top of your page!! I get annoyed when I link to a recipe and have to scroll down for an hour through a blog post to get to the recipe! Lol
Absolutely terrible!, if I could give this review zero stars, I would. It tastes like burnt air. I made this dish while trying to be healthier, but there is no way that this is edible. I really had faith. So disappointed! I wish I could put the photos of what I made on here. They look disgusting and did not rise. Like cardboard scraped upon my tongue!
I’m so sorry this contributed recipe didn’t work out well for you! It was from a reputable vegan bakery. We’ll look into it!
