This is just like the recipe my mom used when I was a kid...The muffins are great especially because they are hot out of the oven. My children (10, 6, and 4) LOVE them and can't get enough. They think they're pretty cool, too, because the make them themselves! Thanks for the recipe!

Best "To Go" muffin ever!!! Started looking for this recipe after my grown sons requested the muffin Nana used to make...This recipe is exactly as I remember -sweet, warm and hot! I added Chia needs to my batch, to kick up the "healthy" rating. Supposedly it keeps for 6 weeks in the fridge, but we can't prove that. We seem to polish a recipe off within 2weeks!
