These muffins were moist and
These muffins were moist and good, though a bit dense. I made them in mini-muffin tins and topped each with a pecan half - very cute. I made them for a snack that I brought to a contra dance, and they were a big hit. The other ladies appreciated that they weren't overly sweet.
