I have made these muffins today and while they are moist in the middle they have not come away from the paper muffin cases. I am now left with a batch of Muffin tops!! This recipe needs to be adjusted to state it is not suitable with paper cases.

This recipe was a total disaster for me... Twice! Followed recipe to the T, used a muffin tray and the mixture just wouldn't bake. Top half crisp, bottom runny. Made second batch and placed on a baking tray. Same problem but worse as the mixture ran out of the muffin cases. A real disappointment.

easy peasy recipe, handles it well if you don't read recipes properly. (I added milk last...). I substituted raisins for chocolate chips. (hey, they needed using up!). Will definitely use this one again. Thanks!

These are nice muffins - light and fluffy and not overly sweet. They raise really well - mine were just done in 15 minutes. Not a fan of raisins so substituted for finely chopped walnuts. Having the unit of measurement all over the place was a little confusing so I converted them all to imperial at convert-me.com in the Cooking category. Flour 1 1/2 cups, raisins 1/4 cup, butter, 4 Tbsp, Sugar 4 Tbsp, milk 3/4 cup I keep my very ripe banana's in the freezer until ready to use and just lightly defrost right before using. This makes them very mushy so easily blended in especially when doing at the very end.

Really great muffins that I lightened a bit more by using skim milk and just egg white. I lowered the sugar by skipping the raisins and using 1 Tbsp of Splenda Brown Sugar. The muffins are very light in texture even they are all whole wheat which is very nice and they aren't too sweet. Mine were well baked in 20 mins. Thanks Kitzy :D
