Recipe Review

This is a very good muffin. I gave it a 4 because I felt the need to tweak the ingredients. I felt that 2 cups of sugar was too much for a muffin(these are not cupcakes after all) especially with sweetened coconut and granola that has sugar in it. I had Sucanat on hand and only 3/4 c so that is what I used. To me and my husband ,it was sweet enough for a muffin. This was a great combination of ingredients that made a very tasty muffin. I used black walnuts and I put dry oatmeal on the tops before baking for a little added goodness! I wasn't sure what she meant by "large muffin cups" so I used my jumbo ones. It made 14 using a 1/2 cup batter for each. I did bake them the full 30 minutes. YUM!

We also thought the muffins were much too sweet using 2 cups sugar, especially considering that the add ins, like granola were also sweetened. If I were to make this recipe again, I would use maybe 1 and 1/4 cups sugar- or perhaps just 1 cup sugar. If you are not using a large cup muffins pan, but a regular size one- think cupcake pan from 30 years ago, then you can expect this recipe to make 3 dozen regular size muffins. (I now estimate the number of muffins a recipe makes in my pan by figuring that a "2 cups of flour recipe" plus a cup of" extras", makes 1 dozen muffins in my pan. Then you adjust the number of muffins "up" by adding in the amounts of "add ins " to the recipe. In this recipe there are 5 cups of" add ins" plus 3 cups flour. I find it is very helpful to create some type of guide, or rule of thumb to estimate the capacity of your own muffin tin- since they vary so much).
If I were to make this recipe again, I would make only half the recipe- especially since they were so sweet last time. I can't help wondering if the sugar quantity was a mistake( 2 cups).
