I loved these. My only complaint was that it seemed like a relatively large amount of effort for only 9 muffins -- it took me a while to zest 2 teaspoons of lime! But I'll definitely make these again, and I'll probably make my boyfriend do the zesting. -
Double YUM for these! I increased the blueberries to 1-1/2 cups, next time I make these I will increase the sugar to 1 cup for my sweet-tooth DH who enjoyed them with his coffee! thanks for sharing Kel!...Kitten:) -
Yum! These were full of flavor. I used too much coconut(don't ask), but it still came out tasty! Thanks KelBel!
