Very easy and quick to make. Not too sweet either. I cut the recipe down to make 6 good sized muffins. I did add some raisins, but otherwise followed the recipe as written. I did find them a little on the dry side, but I eat them with butter anyway, so that's not a problem. However, there wasn't much flavour to them. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us. Made for Spring PAC 2009.
