These muffins were very tasty! I used plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream, white whole wheat flour for the all purpose, for the leavening 2 tsps baking powder and 1/2 tsp baking soda, omitted salt, used sunflower seeds for the nuts as our school is nut free, added an egg as others did and added 1/4 tsp cardamom and orange juice to thin the batter a bit. My #50 scoop yielded 14 muffins which I baked at 375 for 20 minutes, the edges browned quite a bit so I may try 350 next time.
