i had high hopes for this recipe, and i believe that with some slight tweaks it could be fantastic. however, it has way too much oil, as mine were not cooking properly and were swimming in it. adding less oil and an egg replacement would make this more successful in my opinion.

These were excellent! My only note is that I got 30 muffins out of this recipe, rather than 24.
