  • “The recipe is very good as written, but I had to made some change. The first time time they didn’t rise very high, so the second time I used 2tsp of baking powder along with the baking soda. Also swiched the butter for 1/4 c. of oil (I don’t cream it, just mix the oil with the sugar). Much better the second time (and healthier!) 🙂 I’m sure raisins will be awesome in it, but my sister is a raisin-hater…(what’s wrong with her?) I have made some in greased tins and some with paper cups. Believe it or not, but the ones with paper rose much higher than the other in greased tins. This make 12 large muffins.P-S: I don’t know if it is what Judy means, but buttermilk isn’t butter at all!”

  • “Excellent muffins! Just so easy to pop one into your mouth and keep on doing it absent-mindedly. A keeper!”

  • “These were very tasty muffins. I had never tried oatmeal muffins before, so this was a first and I was very pleased! Like Judy, I got a dozen muffins as well. I used my buttermilk substitute in place of the sour milk. My tops caved a bit… not sure why, but it didn’t effect the taste of the muffin at all. I also added a dash of cinnamon. “

  • “These were very nice muffins.I used sour milk (would you really use 1 cup butter plus 1/3 cup more?) & added about a cup of craisins.The yield is off – I got 12 muffins, not 5.”
