Giada's Olive Oil Muffins image

Saw this on the Food Network and was really curious to try these. Who would've thought to use olive oil for something sweet? According to reviewers you can interchangably sub lemon/orange juices for the zests if you don't have them; all I got is just dried orange peels. I made a few changes to the original-- you can use any kind of milk to get that muffin lustre but I use soy milk. Originally called for 4 large eggs, I use only the whites. I also might try these with wheat flour or a mix of white and wheat flours.

I followed the recipe exactly and my muffins still turned out terrible. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These muffins were a huge disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and they had a strange aftertaste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my muffins turned out really dense and heavy. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

Overall, I thought these muffins were pretty good. They're not the best muffins I've ever had, but they're definitely worth trying.

The muffins were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add a little bit of milk or yogurt to the batter next time.

I found the muffins to be a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of olive oil by half next time.

These muffins are a bit more dense than I expected, but they're still very good. I think they would be great with a cup of coffee or tea.

I've tried several different olive oil muffin recipes and this one is by far the best. The muffins are moist and flavorful, and they have a perfect texture.

I love that these muffins are made with whole wheat flour. It makes them a bit healthier than traditional muffins.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover olive oil. I always have a bottle of olive oil in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

These muffins are so good! I was surprised at how much I liked them, since I'm not usually a fan of olive oil in baked goods.

The muffins came out perfectly! They're moist and flavorful, with a crispy outer crust. I'll definitely be making these again.

These muffins are incredibly easy to make and they taste delicious! I love that they're made with olive oil instead of butter, which makes them a bit healthier.
