I heart butterscotch!! these sound delicious!
I thought those looked familiar. 🙂 One of my favorite recipes ever!
Sounds amazing!
If you don’t want to use the yogurt, is there something you can substitute? I really don’t like the taste of yogurt so I am worried it will effect the taste of the muffins?
Elyse, I think I should skip your blog until I’m done with my fast. I gave up SWEETS for most of January. These look so good I could eat the picture on the screen. Yikes! 🙂
BTW, thank you for the two great ebooks about blogging. They are absolutely excellent and worth far more than the humble price you are charging. I printed them out, put them in a binder and am going through, page by page, highlighting. What a blessing! Sinea from Ducks ‘n a Row
BLOG HOP on Wednesdays. Please stop by!
I just found your blog through Pinterest! It’s so cute! I just started a blog a little while ago called Truffles n’ Treadmills, so your book is perfect to get me going!
Anette, I actually created the recipe that these are based off of (they simply used all purpose flour in place of the white whole wheat in mine, aside from that, it’s my recipe). These were a result of repeatedly tweaking and changing a sour cream muffin recipe, so you are probably good to go if you want to use more sour cream in place of the yogurt. My original intent was to cut back on the sour cream, hence the Greek yogurt.
I created these specifically for my daughter who is an extremely picky eater. She is terribly critical of everything, especially when she knows I’ve made substitutions. These get a huge thumbs up with her. I promise you do not taste the yogurt at all, so you might want to give them a try. For all of the things I bake and share on my site, my muffin recipes are my most personal and the ones I spend the most time testing and developing (over and over), because they are for my kiddos first, the blogosphere second. You can check out the original, as well as my other muffin maker over recipes at: http://www.lovefromtheoven.com/tag/muffins/ 🙂
Maybe you should go over to Love From the Oven and ask Christi since this is her recipe.
I love your recipe, Christi! I thought these looked familiar!
Great recipe! Looks amazing!
Christi – thank you for the reply – I did see that they credited you with the original recipe and went to your site after I posted the question 🙂 I will try the way you wrote it and see what happens. I love oatmeal scotches and didn’t get a chance to bake a batch at Christmas so I have chips calling to be used 🙂 Thank you for your time and the help! Annette
I love oatmeal scotchies–never thought of making them in muffin form. These sound heavenly!
My son and I just made these and they are delicious! I love butterscotch! Thanks for posting.
I halfed the recipe and tried these today. I don’t know if it is a “mental” thing but still thought I could taste some of the yogurt (and I don’t like yogurt) :(. The chips part was tasty – would probably try to come up with a replacement for the yogurt and try again. 🙂
Normally, sour cream is a good substitute for yogurt.
i must have done something wrong. i had way too much batter for only 12 muffins. they are overflowing in their cups in the oven as we speak. did you mean makes 24?
We usually get around 12. Just make as many muffins as the batter allows. More to go around! 🙂
I am not a cook, so have a couple questions. I made these today and the taste is excellent. However, the bottom of the muffin papers were drenched with I am assuming butter (when I took them out of the oven) and the muffins stuck to the papers so much that half the muffin was uneatable. I used a nonstick pan, so do they need less time to bake. I checked them at 16 minutes and the toothpick was not quite clean, so let them stay for one more minute. Would like to try again, but dont want to be left with half muffins again…..any help?
thank you
How many calories per muffin?
This recipe looks amazing…do you think it would work out to do mini muffins ? Cut the time to 10 min ??
