Easy to make and yes they are yummy! We used fresh picked black berries from our field and ate them warm out of the oven. I loved that I had all the ingredients on hand too! The kids really enjoyed helping make them and eating them! We didn't make the glaze, but they we very good without.

Delicious! Very tasty, moist with a very distinct strawberry flavour!! The orange glaze adds a nice touch, too. I used vanilla yogurt as that is what I had on hand.

These were very yummy! I did blueberry instead of strawberry since I have frozen blueberries in the freezer. I didn't crush them - just added them in. Worked great! I also found the glaze on the runny side. As another posted stated - less juice would work. Overall - the kids scarfed them up! Made for the February 2010 Aussie/NZ recipe swap.

I loved the flavor but was not fond of the texture. They were a kind of gummy. Mine also stuck terribly to paper liners as another post noted. We will definitely enjoy what is made but I'm not likely to repeat. Edit: Back to add a star. I refrigerated these overnight. No more paper sticking and they are great cold. I also cheated a bit and added cream cheese frosting. These are rapidly disappearing now. I am very likely to repeat this one now.

Great recipe! I used frozen raspberries instead of strawberries and substituted whole wheat flour. The glaze was too runny; next time I'd use about 2 teaspoons of juice and try lemon juice instead of orange (to better complement the raspberries). Otherwise, these muffins are delicious. Thanks!
