I haven't made this yet, but to all those people complaining about cost and time spent. If you invest in better ingredients now, you will save yourself and other taxpayers millions of dollars in the future by switching to a healthier diet. Real food costs a bit more, but your family's health should be worth it. Also, sneaking veggies int o foods is a trick that good mothers have been using forever. Invest in your family's future, by whole foods and learn how to cook a healthy meal.

Wonderful. My boys and I just finished off all 24 mini muffins for breakfast. They are muffins not cupcakes as far as the texture, though quite moist. I substituted w.w. pastry flour for the w. w. and A.P. flour and skipped the soy all together & add just a touch more w.w. pastry flour. I used 2% milk instead of whole. I used zucchini and apples and left the peel on. Brown sugar on top does a lot to add sweetness. I highly recommend it if your kids aren't used to things that taste of whole grains. It may cost a bit to get started but it is worth the investment, just refrigerate (or freeze the wheat germ, w. w. flour and flax seed to get the longest life out of it, they can go rancid. Use all fruit or fruit and carrots to start if your kids aren't into veggies. You can always add other veggies in over time. Also, I made mini muffins and filled each cup to the top and it was fine.

I twisted these up just a bit - every person in the family from the "eat everything" to "eat nothing" enjoyed these.

Is this a Sissy Biggers recipe or a Melissa D'Arabian?

Moist delicious cupcakes! Sprinkling on brown sugar on the top before baking made for a nice sweet surprise. I did do some substitutions - as a viewer recommended I used a combination of vanilla yogurt and skim milk. I also used Egg Beaters instead of a real egg. I used carrots, apples, and had planned on using raisins until I saw that I was out - so I used some canned whole berry cranberries instead. They were much sweeter then I anticipated but probably because of the added sugar from the canned cranberries. I will definitely use this recipe again and look forward to using zucchini.

I cant wait to try this. I am surprized to see all the negative reviews and responses and most are complaining. This renforces why America is obese. If you ate healthy you would realize a lot of recipes call for these ingredients you just have to look. I aplaud you for trying a healthier recipe and not adding 2 sticks of butter and fried in grease like other cooks on here, Just to think most people think its heathy what they cook on here. Its really sad. Thank you for trying to make Amerca a little heathier unlike other cooks and maybe the relucant ones would treat them selfs a little better and try it and try to avoid have a heart attack at 40.

This is an excellent recipe for a healthy snack and one I can use to get my grandchildren to eat vegetables. I always have these ingredients on had because we eat healthy. For those of you who complain about content and cost are evidently not cooking healthy. As far as sneaking vegetables in kids food, mothers have doing it for generations so I don't necessarily anybody is stealing anybody else's ideas. Keep up the good work Melissa.

This is an excellent recipe. I had everything on hand, In fact, this is very similar to the cake that I make whenever my sweet tooth husband and 5 children want something sweet and yummy. Go Melissa!

This cake is not very sweet, but I added just a smidge of low-fat cream cheese frosting to give it that sweetness you may be looking for in a cupcake. This has fabulous texture! I was expecting concrete with all of the whole grains. I have actually been using these as a morning muffin- much healthier than many muffin recipes, and who doesn't want to start their day with a little cake? I did not have soy flour and wheat germ on hand, so I left them out. It did not affect the results at all. If you are looking for calories, a regular cupcake size figured out to be 116 calories with 4.5 grams of fat.
