I made a few changes to make these five stars. I increased the Bailey's to milk ratio, making it half a cup each. I increased the brown sugar a tad. I used 1 packet of Starbucks Via for the instant coffee and I used 1/4 cup canola oil instead of the butter. I baked them at 400 for about 15 minutes and they were perfect. Love the powdered sugar on top.

Very good muffins. I love the texture of them I used 1/2 cup melted butter and cut the instant coffee to 3 tsp just right for us. I love the walnuts and powdered icing sugar as a topping. I could taste the richness the baileys added to the muffin. I got 11 nice sized muffins which were baked at 375 for 14 minutes. Made for the Kaffee Klatsch in the cooking photo fourm.

We were really happy with this recipe, adjusting to use a loaf pan (50 minutes at 350F). Like another reviewer, we liked a higher Bailey's-to-milk ratio and a bit more sugar. A very tasty treat with a glass of milk! Thanks for the recipe.

I just made these for a bake sale at my work. I followed the recipe exactly (doubled it because I have an extra large muffin pan) and they have no taste. I can't taste the coffee or baileys. They are not sweet enough. It's too late because I already made them but Ifo I had to do it again I would double the Baileys for sure. Not sure why there's only 1/4 th a cup for 12 muffins that doesn't even make sense. I was very excited about these and unfortunately I am very disappointed in the outcome.
