I decided not to rate this because I don't know what happened to my muffins, but we had to throw them out! :( The batter was really liquidy and the muffins were concave on top. The taste was good though! I went over the recipe again and again, but I definitely made it as instructed. I kind of wondered how 3/4 cup whole wheat flour could be enough for 12 muffins.

These are very unique muffins. Hubbya nd I enjoyed them with coffee this mrooning. I made them in my smaller muffin pan instead of big muffins, so I got about 20 muffins. Thanks Boomie. Made for photo tag.
