     These were delicious! With the oil and egg, though, they are more like scones than muffins. I will make these again, maybe adding some Italian herbs next time.
    Also, I used whole grain spelt flour to make them more nutritious. - 7/28/09

     This was a good recipe. Next time I make this I might add some garlic or sun dried tomatoes. - 6/22/09

     I would call these biscuits rather than muffins. I substituted 11/4c of the white flour with 1c whole wheat flour and 1/4c flax flour, added a couple of tbsp sour cream. A good healthy biscuit that I will make again. - 6/22/09

     I enjoyed these but I Found that there was too much dry mixture as oppose to the wet. Adding a little water solved the problem but I would advise those making these to reduce the flour. - 8/2/13

     these tasted wonderful! maybe cos i used small zucchini which meant there was less juicy flesh and more skin but i needed to add almost 2 cups of water to the mix. i decided to add the water rather than throw out the mixture and i am so glad. they were light, tasty, filling, and enjoyable. yum! - 5/2/10
