I made these muffins using gluten free flour for my mom and they were delicious! The recipe was easy, the muffins baked beautifully, and were moist and flavorful. I also like that they were not too sweet. I’ve shared this recipe with several family members and will definitely make these muffins again. Thanks for the yummy recipe!
