As is, the recipe is delicious (the only thing I did differently was to use milk instead of cream). I made it a second time adding about two cups worth of mirepoix, and I liked it much better that way. So the recipe as is gets 4 stars, but with the added vegetables, it's definitely a top-ranked recipe in my house.

This was pretty good but not great. I thought they came out very dense and didn't rise much. Also, as other reviewers have noted, the streusel topping made WAY too much, and also I really didn't think it was a normal streusel--it was very floury and not sweet enough. I made half with the streusel and half with just sugar on top, and the streusel really didn't add anything. Finally, the quantity seems to be off--I cut the recipe in half and still got 23 muffins in normal-sized tins.

I've made this twice--once as written, and once with some alterations. It's pretty good as a base as written; we had it with grilled shrimp skewers and it made a nice, relatively light dinner. The second time, I added red bell pepper and onions, along with more garlic. We had it with shrimp again, mainly because it's what we had on hand. It was a bit heartier with the extra veggies, and since I gave the onions a good, long browning time, that helped boost the flavor. It's still not a high-flavor dish, but it's tasty and a good way to get the veggies in. You could probably adapt this to whatever vegetables you have on hand and it would still be good.
