P.S. I used one Flat TSP Baking Soda and the same of Baking Powder and just a 70gram packet of walnut pieces which is 3/4 of a cup apparently.

A friend brought me some of these recently and they are just perfect; moist and delicious and I liked the crunch of the walnuts. Made them myself today. Got a few more than recipe said but they were smaller so will get bigger muffin pans for next time.

A bit disappointing. Too dry and baking soda taste was noticeable. I'd swap 1/2-1 tsp of baking soda with a tsp of baking powder next time. Perhaps including the juice of the orange would help with the dryness but I was also a bit short (1-2TBsp short) on oil.

Hi Sarah, Make sure the teaspoons of baking soda are level and not heaped. You could try half baking soda / baking powder. Let us know how it works out!

I made these muffins and the texture was lovely but unfortunately they tasted like Baking Soda. 2 tsp for a muffin mix is quite a lot so I was wondering if I could swap the Baking Soda for something else and still get the lovely height? Thanks!

These muffins are gorgeous and so easy to make. I made mine with gluten free flour and they were yummie. Thank you Annabel.

I made these and left out the walnuts, but to be honest they weren't good. If you're going to make them, I wouldn't leave out the walnuts. Apart from the nuts, something was missing though. They didn't have much flavour. I even tried adding some cream cheese icing, but that didn't help either :( .
