I tried this recipe last weekend and the muffins were de-lish. I just threw in a handful of whole wheat bran and the recipe worked out fine. Next time I will experiment with increasing the liquid a little - but not by much. I do have another question. Why grease the muffin papers? I have been seeing this advise in lots of recipes lately and wonder why. I have been baking with muffin papers for 35 years and it is only in the last couple of years that I have seen this step added into the recipes. I did not grease the muffin papers I used for this recipe and things turned out just fine. Benita, with some of the lower fat muffin recipes out there, and some of the cheaper papers, muffins may stick without greasing. It's kind of a "failsafe" all-purpose warning, but you surely don't need to do it if muffins slip out of the papers without greasing... PJH
