  1. Awesome muffins!! I have to be honest and say I was a little skeptical, mostly because I was unsure about the cocoa / yam / orange combination, but it works, and really well I might add! The flavors are subtle without being at all bland, and the streusel sets it off perfectly. My yield was 13 muffins. Subs: 1/2 c splenda + 1/4 c nonfat dry milk instead of sugar; 3 egg whites + 1 T liquid lecithin instead of 2 eggs.
     
  2. This is a light & tender muffin. The spices were a bit strong for me and the streusal topping didn't work out. I think that the butter needs to be cold and not soft so that it ends up more crumbly. Mine was pasty. I'd also double the streusal next time.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
