I made these the other day and they were wonderful! So wonderful that I they were gone in a very short period of time and I think next time I am going to have to do a double batch but first I need to buy another muffin pan! This recipe made 12 muffins. I subbed the raisins for peaches (I used canned peaches from Costco but obviously fresh would have been even better and I mashed them and dumped them right in!) Yummy! Next time I’m going to try it with some oat bran in place of some of the flour. I can never seem to just stick to a recipe! ~ Jenni
