Mix in dried fruit and nuts.

During baking sprinkle the muffin tops with whole oats and cinnamon sugar.

There are many types of whole wheat flours that are sweeter and lighter than traditional whole wheat. For example, hard white wheat flour creates similar results as all white but is much better for you. There are other choices, too, like kamut flour, spelt flour, oat flour, and teff flour. These are all healthy choices. So explore...discover...and ENJOY!
