Cookalot#2, these were JUST what I was looking for. The molasses and brown sugar are a perfect amount of flavoring (you don't need the vanilla). The muffins baked up full-bodied and I got 12 as the recipe stated. Thanks so much for sharing your mom's recipe. look forward to trying more of your recipes. Roxygirl Roxygirl
