Very delicious, I loved the texture with the macadamia nuts, my grandma loved these and asked me for the recipe, she is usually the one giving me recipies!

Yummy! My 9 year old grand-daughter and I made these at lunch time - not many left!! I substituted extra-virgin olive oil for the butter, and we topped them with chopped macadamias, cinnamon and sugar, as suggested by another Foodie Fanatic - very effective. These are lovely light, moist muffins, and will be made many times in my kitchen! thank you. Tricia in Oz

Great muffins! I added a topping on these made of ground macadamia nuts, cinnamon and sugar. Very yummy! We enjoyed them with our coffee, and will have often too! Thanks!

A nice breakfast muffin, not too sweet! I sprinkled the tops with some red-coloured sugar before I baked them. We ate the muffins while they were still warm, loved the crunch of the macadamia nuts, great with a cup of coffee!
