    This recipe looks very good! Question ... my muffin tins will hold 1/4 C max. They're not mini-sized, and I've always used them for cupcakes. The answer may be obvious, but what size cupcake/muffin pan do you use? Based on the volume for each serving, I don't think mine will work. Thanks! - 2/28/10
