I had my mom and daughter for dinner and my mom is always more interested in the desserts than the main dinner. She loved these and took about a dozen of the minis home with her! I did add some chopped pecans, dried apple bits and dried cranberry bits in mine. I will be making these again!!” … “These were fantastic muffins! My two boys aged 13 and 16 loved them, said they were the best ever. I was surprised because they are not super sweet and usually the kids like the sweet stuff.
