Hi Sweetcook - there are three things that will cause a dry muffin.

Over-mixing - you want to mix just until blended.

Over-baking - you want a few crumbs on your toothpick.

Too much flour - make sure you fluff up your flour before you measure it.

hi, can someone tell me why mine didn't turn as moist as others say?

This is excellent. The recipe comes together quickly. Muffins are moist and laced with perfect coffee flavor. I love the topping too. You can read my full review at: http://bit.ly/QbQ0va

These were a huge hit at the office meeting!!! The aroma these muffins make in the house while baking is awesome!

Made these delicious and moist muffins with apricot preserves. I cut the dry batter ingredients with pastry cutter first, then added the wet ingredients. Used a very strong coffee brew. Use the pastry cutter again for the topping and use ALL of it on the muffins. Came out just like those muffins in coffee shops.

Delicious muffins! I used some homemade strawberry-rhubarb jam instead of the apricot preserves.
