These muffins are GREAT! Too bad the rating scale only goes up to 5! I found Tebo's tip helpful...used paper liners and I'm glad I did. I didn't have any buttermilk so I made a substitute (1 cup milk, 1 tbsp. lemon juice, stir, let sit for 10 minutes. For this particular recipe I just added the other 2 tbsp. milk without adjusting the lemon juice.). Muffins had a nice texture. Also, pecans are a staple in my house so I used them instead of the walnuts. I also brushed on the melted honey...not as messy. Thanks, Erin! M&Mers

Where did this recipe come from? Really good. The only problem I had was removing them from the muffin tin. Next time I'll use paper cups. These will make a terrific dessert!! Thank you Erin.

Erin, as far as baking is concerned I LOVE your recipes! My daughter and I baked this last night as a treat for the ambulance volunteers in our town. We first baked a test batch, and not enough muffins survived (some of us tested two muffins, some three, they were THAT good!). We ended up making 4 batches, using a combo of walnuts and pecans. Baklava is one of my favorite desserts, and this tastes just like it, and it's not as high in fat and calories! Keep 'em coming, Erin!

This is a spectacular recipe. I didn't have a muffin pan handy so I made it in a 9x9" pan, like a coffee cake. It was wonderful! And it didn't stick at all, but I buttered the pan like crazy to make sure it didn't!

Super muffins!!! I doubled the filling and put a little more inside and on top because we love nuts.

These are some great muffins, Erin! I used the paper liners (always do anyway), and they do tend to stick to the liners, but I found they were easier to peel away the 2nd day, especially if warmed briefly in the microwave. DH took some to work and brought home a note from a coworker requesting more. :o)

These were great but I had a few problems. Having read all the reviews I decided to grease the muffin tin well and avoid the paper liners. I also increased the amount of filling slightly and added grated lemon and lime zest to the batter. The resulting muffin tasted wonderful but the filling oozed out of the muffins and stuck to the tin. The filling really needs to be pushed into the bottom batter carefully and the top batter placed around the edges of the muffin so that the filling will be enclosed in the muffin.

I doubled the recipe in order to bring some in to work. They lasted about 5 minutes and everyone is raving over them. And, if I do say so myself, they are delicious. I warmed mine up but most just inhaled them cold. And still thought they were great. Thanks Erin. A wonderful recipe.

These were awesome!! I made them exactly as directed and they tasted very much like the real thing!! The honey and nuts make these muffins! I filled the muffin tins only 1/3 full and then rolled the filling mix into little balls and dropped it onto the batter. I filled the cups the rest of the way and they came out perfect!! These are definetely a "make again" in my house!!
