Again, as with most other reviewers, I tweaked the recipes as per my taste and it turned out great. I used 1 cup of non-fat yoghurt instead of milk to make the muffins more moist, 1/2 cup of sugar (instead of 3/4, 3/4 cup all purpose flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour; also added walnuts for crunch.
All in all, it came out great!!

I read the reviews and tweaked it as others suggested. I used 1 tablespoon nonfat plain yogurt, 1 cup of 1%milk, 1 egg, 3 1/2 tablespoons of Ghiradehlli cocoa powder, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup regular white sugar and the rest of the ingredients as Nigella has. I cooked on 350 for twenty minutes because I filled the cupcake liners nearly to the top. I was concerned but they are definitely moist and tastey...not too sweet either which I though they would be but sweet enough. I will definitely be making these again....

Not good! Unfortunately I followed the recipe very carefully. After mixing I tried the batter and it tasted bland. However, I figured "this is from a Food Network chef and she must know what she is doing", and went ahead and put them in the oven. I was a little concerned when the directions called for the oven to be preheated to 400 degrees and bake for 20 minutes! But again, figured the chef knows what she is doing so I set the timer for 15 minutes (instead of 20. Well at 14 minutes, I thought I smelled the muffins burning and yep, they were. I had to throw half the batch of hockey pucks away. The remaining over cooked half was dry and not very sweet. I personally will not be making these again, looking elsewhere. But for those who want to try, I suggest adding more sugar, cocoa, and chocolate chips. Also suggest reducing the temperature, baking time and keep a close eye on em.

I saw this recipe and gave it a try. At first glance, it did not look correct. My best recipes are muffins and breads. The batter didn't look very good, but I had to bake them anyway. As suspected, they were not good. VERY disappointed in Food Network this time. I have cookbooks by Nigella and I have yet to make something delicious.
Sorry. It's not just me.

I am giving 5 stars to this recipe. Muffins turn out great every time I make them. I have added 1/4 cup of sugar more to this recipe as we like sweet muffins. Very quick and easy for new bakers.

Great recipe....not super sweet, quite correctly. These are muffins, not cupcakes. I did add 1/2 tsp salt. If yours are dry, you are over-baking them. Lower your oven temp a bit-I bake mine at 375-and start checking the first batch at about 15 min. You want a toothpick inserted into the center to come out mostly clean with a few tender crumbs clinging to it. Mine were perfect after 17 minutes.....you have to get to know your oven and experiment as they can vary quite a bit.

when i first made these twice, i followed the recipe to a tee. it was great then but after reading other people's reviews, i decided to tweak it a bit:

add 1/2 tsp of salt

use 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of sour cream

use 1 cup of choc chunks
OR 1/2 cup of choc chips & 1/2 cup of choc chunks

instead of 3/4 superfine sugar,
use 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup regular/superfine sugar

use 3 tbsp of cocoa powder

baked it for 20 min at 356 F aka 180 C

they turned out so moist the top had a candied speckled look like brownies would and underneath the choc chunks melted and the muffins were moist and soft and chocolatey so in a way they turned out like chocolate-brownie muffins!

This recipe is amazing. I also put in a couple tablespoons Nesquick and 1 espresso shot. I substituted the chocolate chips with dark chocolate chunks. It was so delicious!! The recipe made exactly 12 muffins. Baked at 325-350 F.
