"Muffins don't come any better than these :) If you want to make regular muffins, you can leave out the fresh fruit and just decrease the sugar as stated in the recipe. No Kiddin', these are great! I love mine with a nice hot cup of cocoa... Yum!"

I made these with blueberries over the weekend and they were very much enjoyed by my dh and I. They are a hearty muffin, with a great texture. We loved the almost crunchy outside, snd soft and tender insides. Blueberries were a great addition. I am excited to try strawberries and raspberries too! Delicious!

These muffins are large. Filled them with blueberries from the freezer and just rolled them in a little flour before adding them in. They were so moist and delicious!

Have made these several times since the weather cooled off. We love them for breakfast, but I have been known to have them for a midnight snack!

Made these using fresh strawberries and rhubarb and they were delicious! I upped the sugar just a little and they were just sweet enough, as rhubarb is so tart. Loved everything about these muffins!
