Very tasty. But where's the baking powder? I added 4 tsp of baking powder, and cream cheese on top. Not to mention a few other minor changes. These are great in the jumbo size muffin pans.

The muffins were very good - their texture was almost that of a cupcake or just plain cake. I have one suggestion, though: use muffin papers. I sprayed the tins, but the tops of the muffins came off and the bottoms stayed inside. I used the papers and they were perfect!
