“I made these muffins for a "girls lunch" which included Cate D. to serve with chicken salad. I omitted the drizzle & used dried cranberries as the add-in. I used brown sugar as a less expensive sweetener. They were delicious. Next time I'll bake a few minu” — a cook, 5.0★
“Yum! To be honest I was suprised how good these taste because they are so healthy. I love that they are dairy free and gluten free since I have to accommodate both of these for family parties. I did cook them a little longer because they were so moist, 31 minu” — a cook, 5.0★
