I recently made this recipe after I got it from Hungry Girl's website. OH MY GOODNESS! These muffins are amazing! I followed the recipe exactly, but I think next time I will put all 3 Tbs of walnuts in at the same time. When you sprinkle them on top, not all of them sink in and then they easily fall off the top when they're done. I cannot wait to make these again - they're one of my many favorites from HG!
