"These muffins are fabulous! They are moist and tender! I made the following changes due to the way we eat in our home. Whole Wheat pastry flour, 1/4 cup organic unsweetened coconut, organic whole milk yogurt instead of sour cream, added 1/2 tsp homemade vanilla with the almond extract. Mix the melted butter and yogurt together then add the coconut so it starts to soak and continue with the rest of the ingredients. Also, bake at 425 for 5 mins then reduce to 375 for about 20 mins. This will give your muffins a nice peak. I did not add extra sugar to the top and since I did not have sliced almonds I omitted the nuts."
"Excellent. I made these around Christmas time and they are delicious and quite fancy. I sprinkled mine with slivered almonds and then drizzles with a light glaze. Don't over beat the batter - so as to keep the muffin light and fluffy. A very rich flavor."
"A little dense but great flavor."
"Delicious, but I did change a few things. I wanted to make lower in fat so I used 3 tbsp. of egg whites, 1/4 c. of lite sour cream, one small single serve cup of applesauce for the butter, I did not have flaked coconut so I used 1/2 c. of shredded zucchini, 2 tbsp. of mini choc. chips and just a few almonds (3-4 for crunch) on top of each muffin and 1/2 tsp. of coconut extract to get that coconut flavor. They turned out very moist and what a great taste. I got 9 regular sized muffins instead of 6 and I got the fat grams down to 2g per muffin."
"A bit dry and doughy, not light like the photo. Not very sweet at all. Would try again to see if it comes out better."
"very sweet, tastes more like a mini-cake than a muffin."
"I have made these 3 times in the past few weeks - always double the recipe! An excellent cake-like muffin for a special treat!!"
"This are our favorite muffins. I make a variety of different kinds for breakfasts and freeze them, but I never let these run out in the freezer."
