Thank you, yes they are nice muffins, although they don't look particularly like muffins. They are small and very dark golden colour, not like the pic. They look more like a mini carrot cake and that they need to be iced or something!
delicious, I used a 1/3 cup of wholemeal flour to add some extra fibre, and I used soya yoghurt instead of buttermilk and it was delicious. A bit wet, but tasty and much lower in fat and calories.
Fabulous. I made them for the first time this morning and they were great... so much so that it's now the afternoon and we're making a second batch! I reduced the sugar a smidge and then sprinkled a little raw sugar on top before baking. Yummy! Many thanks for the recipe.
Turned out wonderful! Light and fluffy - kids (7 and 9) just ate 3 each! We don't get that too often ;)<br /> I used Activia fruit yogurt (vanilla or blueberry) in absence of buttermilk...
These muffins were such a hit, I am just putting a second batch in the oven..I find it is easier to add sour cream to wet mixture.. I also added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon mixed with oats and sprinkled this on top!<br />
Just made these and they are really moist and delicious. Just the right amount of sweetness.
I used little frozen blueberries... after 20 minutes I took them out and it wasn't until I tried to remove them from the muffin tin that I realized they were not cooked through. So I put them back in for 8 more minutes. Still moist and delicious! Next time I will use cupcake papers and cook them about 25 minutes in total on the lower rack of the oven, since the tops brown up beautifully before they are cooked through. Also, my yield was only 9 muffins.
The best muffins I have ever made!!! Instead of buttermilk, I put sour cream and they came out so good, my daughter ate them all!! Thanks
I had bananas on their last leg and fresh blueberries, so when my recipe search came up with a Jamie Oliver recipe, I tried it. I added walnuts, extra blueberries and substituted the buttermilk with vanilla chobani yogurt. Excellent! Moist, tasty and just what I wanted! And they didn't go flat!
flavour of muffin is nice and not too sweet. My muffins didn't rise as much as I think they should have. Next time I'll use SR flour + the baking powder.
good recipe but in the method if you put the buttermilk in with the wet ingredients, instead of the dry, it won't be as lumpy
These muffins are excellent! They are moist, light and healthy. I've passed the recipe on and have had many favourable comments. A must try!
Hello, i just made these muffins, and they came out of the oven looking amazing but then immediately sank! hahaha!d'oh! how do I avoid this? My mum said something about there may being not enough egg, but I have no idea! let me know your thoughts thanks xx
