A very good recipe. I used dried cranberries and chopped walnuts; the flavor was great. And I liked the consistency and that the muffins were not too sweet. The batter was quite thick; what is great about that is that it is very neat to scrape into the muffin cups. No slopover onto the pan! The photos are exactly what the muffins look like. Thanks for posting . . . . . Janet

    Doubled the recipe. Made with dried cherries and milk chocolate chips. Excellent!!! ~edited to add~ Made with fresh blueberries and husband said they were the best blueberry muffins he ever had! I'm out of sour cream (I think I'll sub yogurt), but I want to try the banana/choc. chip.

    OOH OOH OOH were these great. I put in a chopped bananna and some pecans. Fabulous flavor, you could really taste the banana and pecan. I was in the process of mixing when I realized my sour cream had gone bad. I used plain lowfat yogurt instead, and it worked great!!!

    These muffins are great. They remind me a little of scones. I added blueberries and also a 1/2 teaspoon of orange peel. YUM! Thank you for the great recipe which I will use again and again.
