These are really delicious tasting muffins! They are very, very rich and taste almost creamy. I made only one change to the recipe, which was to use 4 tsp of Irish Cream liqueur(which I had on hand)in place of the 2 tsp each of Irish Whiskey and coffee liqueur. I thought these tasted great and where very easy to prepare. Note: Check these early - mine got a hair too crisp on top at 25 minutes, so next time I may pull them out 5 minutes earlier.

Moist and tasty muffins! As I didn't trust my gluten free flours, I used two eggs, half cup rice milk and 4 tablespoons olive oil. They turned out perfect in texture and flavor. Thanks for posting this recipe! Made for Comfort Cafe Snowqueen's Round 2010.

Made for Comfort Cafe Event. I ran out of Irish cream so I used only Kahlua but these still turned out very nice. A nice breakie muffin with your favourite brew.
