Ruth R.--Try using rice flour instead of the wheat flours, or maybe kamut in place of the whole wheat. These don't have gluten.

I was surprised that these muffins tasted so good for being "healthy". They were easy and taste great warmed in the microwave the next day.I will make them again soon.

My husband wanted some apple muffins to take on a trip and I decided to give these a shot. They were absolutely wonderful! I was afraid they would be on the dry side, what with the wheat flour, but we were both very pleasantly surprised.

Do you think that a recipe entitled "Apple-Cranberry Wheat Muffins" might have the ingredients APPLES and CRANBERRIES listed??????? Editor Note: This recipe does contain both apples and cranberries.

I love the mufffins, but I was wondering what you can use in making them, if you are allergic to wheat (Gluten). I would really like to know.

I made these without wheat germs, but they were still moist and good. I loved them because they were not too sweet. Very easy and fast to make, too. My family enjoyed them with honey butter.

The apple juice makes these muffins very moist. We thought these were made even better by adding pecans. Good stuff!

These were very moist. We loved the tart-sweet flavor. They were enjoyed for a breakfast treat and to take to work in our brown bags for a special snack.
