    Bit heavy for me. I cooked for 20 mins but I had used tulip cases and had put slightly more in each case than regular serving, but perhaps should have stuck to 15 - although they looked underdone at 15mins. These arent too sweet, so work well with cream, ice cream. Needs something to wash them down…

    Excellent recipe, muffins turned out yummy, very easy to make. Tip: in my oven I had to bake it for 30 mins instead of 10-15 minutes.
