These were pretty good muffins, with a nice texture. But I felt like something was missing--I'm not sure what. They were not overly sweet, which I appreciated. I think maybe I didn't care so much for the cinnamon, but I'm just not quite sure. Still, many people do like cinnamon with coffee and with chocolate, even if I think maybe I'd prefer these without. I was tempted to use chocolate milk instead of milk; maybe I'll try that next time! Thanks for posting, ratherbeswimmin'! Made for Comfort Cafe January 2009.
