These were, as the rating states, truly outstanding.. so delicious, great consistency, crunchy top, browned beautifully all over, very moist, and looked like a work of art. Thanks a million, homegirl!

This were very yummy muffins! I made the recipe exactly as posted although I did use fat-free eggnog.
