Great recipe but I changed it a little. I added just a pinch of salt (1 tsp is too much for me), 150 g of mixed brown and caster sugar and only 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda (I don't like the taste of it in cakes). I also added few pecan nuts. Everything worked out brilliantly. Happy days!

Nice muffins, though I felt they were a little too salty and not sweet enough, easily tweekable though :-) , next time, I'll halve the salt and add 10/15g more sugar.
I also followed the advice of another reviewer and put in less oil, around 175mls.

Great basis for a recipe. I think that the recipe calls for a little too much oil so second time round I cut down on the second round and enjoyed the results better. I also added some bran (to reduce the guilt factor). Yummy. Thank you

I was looking for a recipe to use up some carrots when I came across this one. I had never made muffins before, but it looked easy so I gave it a go. They turned out perfect! Really easy to make, not too sweet, but sweet enough to be moreish, yummy.
