    Used different ingredients. I substituted soy milk for semi skimmed, as my boyfriend is mildly lactose intolerant. Since I didn't have poppy seeds either, I substituted chopped walnuts.  -  17 May 2009

    What delicious and different cakey-buns! I used cold-pressed rape seed oil in place of the vegetable oil and the texture of these little muffins was delightful. I used 100g poppy seeds [4 tablespoons] and this does look like an awful lot, but it combined well with the other ingredients and these little seeds added the most lovely crunch. These tasty muffins are certainly not over sweet, and I counted them at 227 each with 11g fat each. This was a great recipe that works and I'm looking forward to using it again.  -  22 Dec 2015

    I really liked this recipe, really easy to prepare using ingredients I already had, or ones I could easily substitute. Really tasty too!  -  17 May 2009
