The muffins were tasty, moist, and not overly sweet, which is how I like them. Flavor: 5 stars. Size: 4 stars – they are smaller than jumbo; but bigger than a regular muffin. When I poured the batter, it came halfway up the tin, and they baked fast, ready in 16 mins. they had a nice golden color, and rose with a pretty dome.
Thank you for the recipe, will definitely repeat!

Disappointed in the size, will get back to you on the taste
Audrey says
Hello JoAnne, what size muffin tin did you use? There should be enough batter for one jumbo muffin tin.
