First of all these muffins are idiot proof : I made this as close to the directions as possible, no separation of dry/wet ingredients though, got distracted (thx ADD: added 1/2 cup of OJ bc I had no orange to "zest", blueberries bc I didn't have enough cran & I heard they're good w orange too. And I hated to do this to an amazing chefs recipe but I added a small jar of the walnut ice cream topping by smuckers, the kind that comes w syrup. I didn't hv any nuts. I used ginger snaps instead of the ginger, just crushed them up. It worked out well since I added the addl liquid. I live far away from a grocery so I didn't wanna make a special trip hence all the additions & subs : theyre prob the best muffins EVER & seriously so easy! Make THEM!!

Wonderful flavor! Following some reviewer suggestions, I made half the batch and subbed walnuts for hazelnuts. Didn't have figs, so I used half fresh cranberries, half dried cranberries. My husband liked these better than the very good cranberry nut muffins at our local bakery. Another hit, Ina!

I **LOVE** this recipe. I've made it for Christmas, for pot-lucking, for home, for work and everyone loves these. I used different nuts or no nuts or no figs (but I always use canberries and these come out perfect every time. This recipe "halves" easily for a smaller batch (although they disappear too fast most times to warrant a smaller batch! I most like the fact that the sugar is not part of the "structure" of the finished muffin, which gives much better results when using substitutes such as splenda.

The recipe is great! Even with some changes (some planned- some not, the muffins turned out so moist. I did take the comments of adding orange zest. I thought I had ginger on hand, but didn't and had to use nutmeg. I'm not a fig fan, so I used 2 cups of cranberries. I used pecans because they are plentiful in our area. These taste so fresh! I am planning on keeping cranberries in my freezer so I can make the muffins year round. Thank you, Ina! (looking at other comments, I do feel this recipe can be adapted in so many ways...substituting some wheat flour, using Spenda, etc.

These are by far the best muffins I have ever made. I made a ton of substitutions and they were still fab.
I used have all purpose and half whole grain flour. I used raisins instead of figs, and sunflower seeds instead of pecans.
I also added the zest of 1 orange. Oh, and I used dry cranberries because that's what I had.
Delicious!!!

These are fantastic! I used slivered almonds instead of hazelnuts b/c that was what I had on hand and left out the figs b/c I didn't have any. I also added orange zest to 1/2 of the batter to test it out like some of the reviews said. I liked the ones with orange zest a lot better -- it added a whole new dimension. Overall, a perfect holiday muffin! Great with coffee.

Very good however, unlike I usually do, I did change a few things. Instead of ginger, whole milk, and hazelnuts, I used orange zest, 1% milk, and toasted pecans. I also used Texas size muffins liners which gave me 11 muffins which were baked for 30 minutes. I filled the cups to the very top and got a product a bakery would be jealous of. I love figs and had them in the pantry, but I think they were unnecessary. Something orangy or perhaps apricots would have been better.
