We made mini muffins with this recipe. They were awesome! My daughters kept asking for more and if we could make another batch. This one is a keeper!

Delicious Muffins, but no baking temp is listed. I baked them at 375 for about 20 minutes and they were done. - 9/30/12

I added about 2 tsp cinnamon to the batter and 1/2 tsp nutmeg. Baked at 400 degrees F. Didn't have enough batter to do 4 tbsp per muffin. Taste really yummy! - 4/15/10
