Followed the instructions and found the batter was too thick, added some milk but still too thick, came out okay but we didn't find much of a flavour, thats just my thoughts.

Very good and easy. Did indeed go well with the frittata they were pictured with in the Quick Cooking cookbook.

I wanted bite sixe, so used the mini pans. I baked them for 13 - 14 minutes. Very good! I did add some cinnamon to the batte also.

Very good alternative to coffee cake...be careful not to over-fill the muffin cups. They rise a LOT! The topping is delicious - I think next time I would make extra topping and put a layer of it in the middle of the muffin.

This is an such easy recipe and just as yummy! The nutty crumb topping makes this one a winner!
