Sweet and delightfully crunchy. I adapted this recipe from one I found somewhere else on the internet - used honey instead of white sugar, wholewheat flour instead of all-purpose, cut down the brown sugar and boosted the millet content. The original recipe didn't contain any baking powder, which I found suspicious (?), so I added that in. I toasted the millet ahead of time, but can't say as it made much difference in the flavour (which is primarily vanilla-y and oaty)--the millet seeds do add a nice cake sprinkle-like crunch to things though. This is half of a recipe that was supposed to make 12 muffins, but the 6 muffins I got out of my version were a little on the large side--for medium-sized muffins, maybe stretch the batter out over 8-10 muffin cups. My muffins took an extra few minutes in the oven and still ended up being a bit moist in the middle, but maybe that's because the muffins were large and because I was using the toaster oven...?
