How perfect are these?!?! Wonderfully light. The only thing I changed was to use canned apricots instead of pineapple. They worked out well enough except that I had a bit of a hard time getting them out of the tin. I waited 5 minutes after taking them out of the oven before I took them out of the tins. I think that next time I will take them out of the tins sooner. Also, I doubled the recipe with great success. With a full tin of 12 muffins, mine took 14 minutes in the oven. I will make these again and again! Thanks so much for posting!
