Blueberry Corn Muffins

The directions are for large muffins...

Kristie H - February 9, 2007 02:54:27 PM PST

The recipe gives directions for making only 6 muffins... That's why the calories are so high. These are not average-sized muffins. I have not made these yet and I do think the muffins will taste good when I try the recipe, but I probably would not go to the trouble of the parchment/string or use the special rings either. The large muffin tins or even regular muffin tins to make more (smaller) muffins would be fine alternatives.

If you read the entire recipe, you will see that you can also use large muffin tins. Personally, I found this recipe to be very tasty, although it is high in fat. I will probably make it again.

good but could be healthier

Honestly, this muffin is great, but I did some alternatives and still tasted good, I used half of certain ingredients , such as half of the butter, flour, and no sugar on top but dripped some (not much at all) honey. It's just good with the same size of serving size but not in carbo and fat (at least I don't feel that bad about it). Good try!

show off food

these muffins are a great departure from the box and tin with PAM.
my guests really liked cutting the twine and laying back the parchment to get at the muffins. leave it to martha stewart to show something tasty and fun.
if you don't want calories, don't eat carbohydrate and fat.
if you want a crowd pleasing, tasty, "different" breakfast muffin,
look no farther.

HOW BOUT SOME MODERATION??

I love the people who complain about a recipe and haven't even tried the damn thing. I read all the reviews... I must say, cooking should be experimental. It's not the end of the world if the calories are high.... make smaller portions, like one reviewer said - 1/2 certain ingrediants, and here is a brilliant idea... how bout changing lifestyle (aka exercise more) so you don't pack on the extra calories. I am going to try these.... i have fresh blueberries in my garden that are worth exploring a new recipe. As for all the negative reviews... it seems people are scared out of something that could be an occassional delicacy. Here's a tip.... exercise regularly, carbs aren't the antichrist, and fat is actually a nutrient your body needs in moderation (brain and myelin formation in nerves). Kudus to all the bakers that took a chance!
