Very tasty (just the right amount of spices), and moist and best of all, not too sweet! I made mine as 12 regular sized muffins, and added the dried cranberries as suggested by the chef. I also added some pumpkin seeds to the batter, as well as the ones on top of the muffins. These will be made often!
