  The flavour is not bad but I didn't like the texture. I put less blueberries and no raisins.

  I like these muffins even if they are dense. They taste delicious and they raise just fine. Very healthy alternative!

  I am relatively new to cooking and had hoped that this recipe would yield some edible muffins. I followed the recipe very closely but unfortunately they came out v.small and hard - my partner called them rock cakes - I am still searching for a fool proof recipe - any suggestions?

  I made this recipe with wholemeal flour and substituted the apricots for more fresh berries. The result was fruity and fantastic. A great mid morning snack.

  I used poppy seeds, raisins, blueberries, chopped walnuts and a chopped nectarine - just what I had in the cupboards! I also 50:50 spelt:plain flour. Added an extra teaspoon of baking powder and was careful not to overmix. They rose beautifully and were a hit with my boyfriend too! I had half a muffin spread with lemon curd for a snack to test them out and I can't wait to eat one for breakfast with fresh fruit in the week. A great healthy treat!

  Mmmmm, these are delicious! I halved the recipe and used just blueberries and sultanas as it looked like fruit overload. Super tasty, freezeable and a lovely guilt-free treat! Went down very well :) will definitely be making many more!

  Either my scales malfunctioned on the flour, or there is a crazy amount of liquid vs dry ingredients in these. I'm a regular baker, and when I saw that my batter had the consistency of runny yogurt (difficult to spoon into the cases it was so runny), I considered adding extra flour, but decided to trust Good Food. Mistake. After double the amount of time (in a pre-heated oven at gas 6), they looked still wobbly, but I gave up and took them out. They promptly sank. The inside was still wet goo, surrounded by exploded berries. Even if something was mismeasured, the amount of fruit is excessive for my taste.

  If you use frozen blueberries they don't seem to sink and they come out perfectly cooked. The first time I made these I thought they were too sweet and fruity. After a few tries I now use only 75ml honey and half the amount of all the fruits plus a few chopped dates and 50gms pecan nuts. I also use buttermilk instead of milk plus half tsp bicarbonate soda. This gives extra rise and a softer crumb. You could use half milk and half plain yoghurt if you don't have buttermilk. Using wholemeal flour gives a nicer texture I think. It's a great healthy muffin. A very adaptable recipe.

  Really tasty. I used self raising flower and 1tsp of baking powder. 75g butter and 2tsp of cinnamon. I left out the apricots and used frozen mixed berries. Baked for 20 minutes. They turned out light and fluffy and all the family loved them. Very nice with Philadelphia cream cheese on top.

  I have made these a few times now and my family love them, even those I thought wouldn't raved about them. I don't make any changes at all and find them very satisfying with a cup of tea for breakfast. As they are quite dense, you can't rush eating them and I find they keep me feeling full much longer than a couple of pieces of toast. They are a family favourite now in our house.
