I thought that the flavor of these muffins was excellent but the texture was a bit odd. Very smooth, although I did not add nuts. They also sunk a little after baking. My 3 year old daughter loves them. Anything to get her to eat more vegetables! I will try this recipe again and maybe do a few tweaks.

I had made these muffins out of Jamie's book when I was at a friend's house, I liked them so much, so do the kids. I'm glad I found this recipe here.Thanks for posting!

My family and I enjoyed these muffins, but I thought they were a bit too oily and heavy. I used cream cheese frosting instead of the sour cream one that Jamie Oliver uses. Thanks for posting!

A very nice muffin but not a great recipe for the blender! A bit thick so blend after every ingredients so you do not risk the motor on the blender. Popular with the entire family.
