I feel terrible giving these only one star but they were bad. I swear I followed the recipe but they tasted more like cornbread than a muffin. Really sorry but my family did not care for these at all.

[I love spicy food]

Definately delicous muffins. They were so moist and fluffy (almost like cup cakes). I used 1/2 ww flour, maple syrup instead of honey, lemon juice instead of grated lemon and they were great! Next time I would put less filling in each muffin cup and make more muffins b/c they were so fluffy and turned out really big. Great problem to have.

They are just perfect! I use them as a basic receipe and already made vanila and raspberry, banana and pineaple muffins! I love the moisture and the low fat, low sugar option that doesn't affect the taste. And these are the first I ever made that rise and do not collapse!!! I am from Poland where muffins are not really known so it was a challenge for me to learn to bake them here. Thanks to this receipe I can serve a real american breakfasts to my family!!!
