These muffins are very good! After eating a couple of them right out of the oven (and another when cooled), I thought they were a bit dry. BUT, after they sat overnight in a container with a lid, they were just fine. I enjoy muffins made with whole wheat flour and using less sugar, so this recipe using maple syrup as the sweetener interested me. I will add more walnuts next time--at least 2/3 cup or a full cup of broken walnuts. Using a standard muffin pan, it made 13 muffins (one was in a little pyrex bowl). I baked them 20 min at 350 degrees. As soon as they pass the toothpick test, they are ready! They had a nice round top, making an attractive muffin.

7/19/18 follow-up: I got the baking powder and baking soda correct this time, and added a little 4 oz snack size container of apple sauce (to add a bit more moisture). The muffins turned out great and I got a couple extra muffins this time. Great recipe!

I WILL DEFINITELY USE MORE WALNUTS NEXT TIME :) I must confess that, BY ACCIDENT (not an intentional tweak), I left out the baking powder entirely and used 2 teaspoons of baking soda. I will correct that error next time and will revise my review if it makes a difference.

I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
