"These are really good muffins. This recipe makes 30, so be prepared! I store leftovers in an air tight container. They have not lasted long enough around our house to see how well they freeze."

These are great! I made mini muffins, 1 full tin did it. They seem a bit crispy on the outside, but they are subtle and balanced in flavour. For me, they really hit the spot! Thanks for sharing.

OOh fabulous!!! I made these for my Girl Scouts today & they were all gobbled up!! I drizzled a few that were left home w/maple syrup but for travel reasons not the ones I took to the meeting. Nice & tender & delicious!!! Made for Photo Swap 1/08.
