So good! We did 425 for 5 mins and reduced temp to 375 for 20 minutes. These were soft and fluffy with a lot of flavor. This muffin recipe would be a great base for lots of other fruit like blueberries! Thanks for the recipe.
Fantastic…soft fluffy and right amount of sweet and sour. I used almond milk in mine and no almond extract
