Thanks to moan & groan over the best comfort food I came across this recipe to make. What can I say, so easy to make with a great out come and that is my type of breakfast.

These muffins are delicious! I have the same recipe in my Taste of Home collection. I usually substitute whole grain flour for all or part of the all-purpose, but that is the only change I make. Thanks for posting!

Just the perfect amount of sweetness to these muffins. My family devoured them at breakfast this morning.

Delish! I used lowfat sour cream, light butter in the topping, and skipped the nuts. Everyone at our brunch loved them.
