Did not like this at all. Bland dense.

I just made these tonight and they are awesome! My "goodie loving" husband gave them two thumbs up too. I didn't have any walnuts so I decided to add 1/4 cups of dried cranberries I had in the pantry instead in addition to the raisins. That was a good decision!

These are nice and fluffy, but they lack a little sweetness. Next time I will add a bit more brown sugar in the mix and/or on the muffin tops. Overall, a good muffin, though!

I really did like these. I added some currants and sultanas instead of the usual raisins and thought they were wonderful. These will make for great breakfast fare in the fall. I'm looking forward to coming up with variations of this recipe. Thanks!
