    They were not a sweet muffin or cupcake-like as my husband perfers, but they were a wonderful savory muffin with good flavor and a nice muffin (not cake texture.

    For those of you having textural issues, here's how I prevented the crumbly/grainyness:
    Use 1/4c oil and 1/4 c butter instead of 1/2 cup oil
    Cream butter and sugar+ rest of wet ingredients
    Mix as directed, fill muffin cups and let batter sit in the fridge for 4-5 hours before baking. Take muffins out of the oven as soon as the toothpick comes out clean, never mind how pale they might still be.

    Just made these awesome muffins. Only had 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, so used sour cream also. Sometimes baking is tough at high altitudes -- but this recipe was great, easy and delicious.
