These were delicious but a bit wet. I might have under cooked them a bit so next time I'll either cut a little milk or make sure I give them the full 40 mins. Also next time I would add 1 tsp. Cinnamon and maybe 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg or allspice for a little kick. I think walnuts would be good in these as well.
