Very nice texture and super fluffy but they have next to no flavor. I used Grade B Amber syrup and even swapped the yogurt out for mixed flavors (mocha, marula and cinnamon) and can't imagine what it would taste with the regular light syrup you find and plain yogurt. I would try them again but add much stronger flavors. -
Mild flavor and good texture. I used 2/3 white flour and the rest wheat, added cinnamon. -
These are a nice breakfast muffin since they are not sweet. I don't like walnuts but used them and should of used pecans LOL. I used real Canadian maple syrup but did not find them very maply. I think next time I will add a pinch of cinammon Made for Everyday is a Holiday Tag. -
I added a little extra maple syrup & used applesauce instead of oil. I also added dried berries to the mix to give it that something extra. Very tasty... Made for Zaar Stars -
These have a great texture and are not too sweet, with a subtle maple flavor. I used fat-free, no sugar added vanilla yogurt and pecans instead of walnuts. I like the added texture given by the whole-wheat flour.

Very nice texture! The batter was light, and held its structure well, with a little crunch from the whole grain. It's not a very sweet muffin, so I think it would be good with fresh fruit, or even as a dinner bread, perhaps with some herbs. I got 18 muffins. I did use lo-fat yoghurt, and substituted acorns for walnuts.

I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more.
I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking.
My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly
