This is *not* a light and moist muffin. Although the lime flavor is nice and subtle, it's texture is like a cornbread muffin. I got 9 muffins out of this recipe and not 12. Batter was very thick, so I ended up adding 2 additional teaspoons of oil and 1/8 cup milk. I used canola oil instead of vegetable. Topped with "Never Weep" Whipped Cream and grated lime.

These are great, I made them into mini muffins for a sweet snack. I too had to add extra milk, oil. I have made them a couple of times now and both times were great!

Lovely! Sweet and very very TANGY. The muffins did not rise as much as my usual muffins but taste definitely better than appearance! Excellant taste-no sour notes . Will make again

These muffins definitely taste like lime! They are very unique. I had to add some extra milk and oil to the batter before baking them because the batter was too dry. They turned out pretty well.

With one lone lime in the fridge, I decided to use 'er up and try these. To make 'em lower fat, I subbed unsweetened applesauce for the oil. Had to add LOADS more milk & applesauce, as - like everyone stated - batter is THICK! However, maybe I over did it, because not only did I get 12 REGULAR size muffins, but I also got 10 mini-muffins, too! They have a nice flavor, but the texture is so odd.. Really chewy, and they're awfully "heavy".

The batter was dry so I added some more milk. I got 11 small muffins from this batch. I used fresh limes from my backyard and reduced the sugar as I though 1 cup was too much since my little son would be eating them too. Overall the taste was nice and limey!

The only difference I made was halving the recipe and using one small whole egg instead of "1/2 egg" , used all the zest of one lime so it was more than called for, probably close to a Tablespoon. End result was interesting, normal muffin not extremely lime flavored but very good, also very sweet so I may cut the sugar a bit next time, these would be great for a summer breakfast or with tea. I put a little frozen whipped topping inbetween one and it was pretty much dessert! A recipe that's worth trying if you're looking for something a little different than your normal muffin =)

I really enjoyed the taste of these muffins, but the texture needs tweaking. The batter was really thick, and I think this made the texture quite dense. I used buttermilk instead of milk (not sure if this was what made them dense) and had to add more milk and oil. Seemed like there wasn't enough of the wet mixture for the dry mixture. I will try these again with some adjustments.

I followed the recipe exactly and they were extremely dry and felt like a lead balloon in your belly. I would not make these again.
