I found the muffins to be a little too sweet to my liking. I think the next time I make it I will reduce the sugar quantity by ¼cup. I should have smoothed the tops of the muffins before baking, they turned out a little rustic looking :-)True to it's name these muffins turned out fluffy, moist and had a very cake like texture. Both my 6 year old and the 14month old loved these. I had them for breakfast and for snack and for dessert after dinner :-) They are that good...
