light, moist and wonderfully delish!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Fast and easy to make. Wonderful texture and NOT gooey and heavy/dense like so many muffin recipies, and the flavors meld... very nicely. Fresh out of the oven and slightly cooled with cream cheese is a true treat!!!!!!!Read more

Beautiful recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The three or four times I ever baked muffins turned out complete disasters....until now! I used frozen raspberries, only had... regular vegetable oil on hand and a small lemon's worth of zest and omitted the walnuts, but it all turned out perfectly. The recipe was very easy to follow and quick to make - every bite was wonderfully fulfilling. The recipe evenly filled a six-hole Texas muffin tin.Read more

Sooooo Good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These muffins are sooooo good. The recipe was easy to follow. They needed a little more cooking time for my oven. I would... recommend for breakfast, brunch, or even if you are craving a little something sweet. This recipe is a keeper!Read more

Awesome Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

It took me a little longer to make it, but it was definitely worth it. I also forgot to chop the strawberries (when I... whisked them in, they sorta separated). I used frozen strawberries and blueberries because they are cheaper and they worked out just fine. Next time I wanna try adding apples. Read more

Fruity, nutty, good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these this morning for Christmas Brunch and they were excellent. I have never made a muffin with so much fruit so I... was a little worried about how they would turn out but they were great. They will become a regular morning treat.Read more
