I made these muffins for a gift basket, and were definitely good enough to feel comfortable giving out, but I felt they were a bit too crumbly & dry for me. As Kit mentioned in the directions, the batter is very thick. I found that by the time I measured my frozen blueberries to mix them in, the batter had thickened so much that I was able to really get them imcorporated into the batter well enough. As a result, the blueberries ended up on the top & edges and burst upon cooking. I would have liked it better if they were inside the muffins. I did follow the directions exactly, using 1/2 cup sugar (plenty sweet IMHO) and shredded sweetened coconut. Baking time for 12 medium sized muffins was 25 minutes. Not bad, but probably not one I would make again.
