I tagged in Aussie Swap. I have the Montana Prairie Gold, but used their soft white (ground fresh). Batter looked too liquidy so I added 1/2 C extra flour, plus 1 C cheese (would use 2 next time). Usually whole wheat muffins don't rise, so I filled the tins full and got 10 muffins, baked in 20 minutes, plus they rose beautifully! They were a little too sweet, so will cut the honey next time. I also spray the muffin cups b4 putting batter in. Nice recipe. Thanks.
