I've found I have to have the leaveners just so or the muffins won't rise, and it really helps to use a cookie or ice cream scoop (the round ones with the little lever). Gives you a jump on the shape. When I start tinkering with the recipes and start switching in more whole wheat, you sometimes need as much as one tablespoon of baking powder to get the correct rise.<br /><br />Hello Aipi! Thank you so much for your nice comments. I agree...you can add or subtract ingredients based upon the preferences. Also, if any family members don't like the nuts, I usually grind them up (being careful not to make 'butter' out of them, and sneak them in with the rest of the batter for the health benefits and the flavor.<br /><br />Howdy Kankana! Very appreciative of the generous comments. The healthy part in this recipe is what I like to call 'stealthy healthy'...you wouldn't guess they were 'healthified'. ;-)<br /><br />Thank you all for coming by!
