YUMMY!!! I use foil muffin wrappers and sprayed them w/ Crisco no-stick spray with Pillsbury flour. They didn't stick at all, in fact, completely fell out! PERFECT!

    I've made this recipe several times now, with a few variations; mostly just substituting Splenda for the sugar or half Splenda, half brown sugar. I've also done versions adding mashed banana or frozen blueberries. They always come out great, but... But I have two big questions. 1. Does anyone else have a problem with the paper muffin cups really sticking to the muffins? Maybe it's the lack of oil, but I have the hardest time peeling the paper off. And I've tried just spraying the tins directly and not using paper, but that's even worse. 2. Most importantly (to me), how accurate do you think the nutrition info is? I find it hard to believe one of these muffins is only 65 calories! Granted, I have never gotten 40 muffins out of the recipe. Usually I get only about 24 normal sized muffins. The recipe says 40 "large", but maybe they'd each have to be mini-muffins to be 65 calories. Meanwhile, I'll tell myself they're 65 each, so I can have two for breakfast!

    Wow! This is the best muffin recipe I have found for a delicious South Beach Diet legal breakfast! The muffins were moist and flavorful and just plain delicious. I substituted Splenda for the sugar and I added freshly grated nutmeg and cinnamon to spice it up. Like the other reviewer I added craisins as well. Unfortunately, we didn't like the craisins at all, this muffin certainly didn't need them as it stands quite nicely on its own. No worries though, we just picked out the craisins and enjoyed! Thank you for a great recipe, its definitely a keeper!

    Made this muffins with a few variations — used buttermilk in place of the soured milk. Added about 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg. Also substituted 1/4 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cup splenda for the sugar. Will think about adding some raisins next time. They baked up tall, moist and tender. Excellent recipe!!! Easy to make, keeps in the fridge so you can bake them whenever.
