These were very good - I brought them to a bake sale at the school. There weren't any left! I thought the batter was a bit too thick - they were 'lumpy' on top - not a smooth muffin top. I did add cream cheese frosting. DELICIOUS! And I like that they were healthier than other frosted goodies. ;) Made in honor of Chef-I-Am.
