This recipe reminds me of our dear neighbors that just moved to Arizona. We were watching after their house while they were on a long vacation to Europe. Knowing that when they returned home they probably would not have anything in their kitchen, I baked these muffins. I accompanied them with a package of coffee and had the muffins and coffee waiting for them when they returned home. Eighteen years later, they still remember these muffins and how delicious they were. We had a delightful dinner with them last weekend and these muffins were still remembered. I think that is a ‘yes’ vote for these muffins, I think you will agree.
