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!

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 :( .
