I used plain yogurt in these muffins and they came out very moist. The flavors were great too. After sharing them at work, I even had one co-worker ask for the recipe. [Made for The I Recommend Tag] -
I used buttermilk, only 1/2 cup brown sugar, didn't use the nuts. I did the topping like mentionned. These are very good muffin. They are moist and not too sweet with the 1/2 cup brown sugar. But next time I may do them with only all purpose flour. Thanks Dreamer :) Made for 123 hit wonders -
Mmmmmm, These are marvelous muffins Dreamer. I had just a cup of fat free vanilla yogurt left so I used that up. Other than the yogurt I made these with 2 cups of whole wheat flour and a 1/2 cup of unbleached. For the sugar I used 1/2 the amount ask of Splenda Brown Blend, 1/3 cup of oil and used just Splenda and cinnamon on top. Even with my diabetic cut backs they are moist, light textured and delicious. What more could you ask? :D
