Oh my, these are fantastic. I made these last night for DD to take on her "road trip" to a wrestling meet with the girls. They are so moist and tasty, we love them. A couple things though, mine took much longer then 20 minutes to bake, not sure why but it was more like 35 minutes to 40 minutes, but no matter. And I think my muffin tins are smaller then yours because I got 36 regular muffins and 15 mini muffins with this batch. We will make these regularly because we just loved them. Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe with us.
