I'm not a very good improviser, so I was a little nervous about needing to deviate from the original recipe in order to make these turn out well. However, I'm proud to say I did okay and these turned out very yummy! I reduced the flour by 1/4 cup and used whole milk instead of cream (3/4 cup). I also added 1/4 cup of brown sugar as some other cooks had suggested. And finally, I used mini chocolate chips because that is what I happened to have on hand. These muffins looked and tasted great! The texture is a little more dense than a traditional muffin however they were not hard at all! This recipe is worth a try.

These are great! Taste is perfect. I had to use a little extra milk, i didnt use cream. Made exactly 12. You need to fill up the entire cup, and they are just right. They came out beautiful.

My husband didn't want chocolate in his muffins again so I put lemon juice and a little lemon pulp in in place of the chocolate chips. I baked them the same amount of time and added a lemon juice powdered sugar frosting to the top after baking. They are wonderful!

These came out perfectly!! I made a dozen and they were gone in a couple of hours!! (even my husband who is insulted by muffins in general loved them)I followed the recipe exactly, except that I used vanilla soy milk instead of cream since that is what I had on hand, and I added a little bit more milk until the texture seemed right. I was a little worried because of the bad reviews here, but I remembered reading in "The Joy of Coking",that different flours have different properties depending on moisture content and age and how they are stored:some flour will need more milk, and some will need less, so use your best judgement when adding liquid to avoid hard muffins! Thanks for sharing a super recipe!!

I hesitate to give this recipe even one star. I followed this recipe exactly. Been making muffins since 1968 and have never had anything come out so awful. They not only looked unappetizing, but after cooling down, they were hard as a rock! Went directly into garbage can. What a waste of good ingredients!

I think they're really delicious and my boyfriend loved them. I modified the recipe by accident by putting in 1 cup flour instead of 2! It's a blessing in disguise as they turned out to be nicely moist. Also, I used 300g (instead of 224g) of cream cheese. The only complain that I have is that they collapsed after I took them out of the oven. They didn't stay puffed up like they did in the oven.
