Very, very nice muffins. Can you believe I didn't have any milk in the house? So I did the next best thing, and substituted with orange juice. Worked out perfectly. I can't tell you what they taste like cold.....they were gobbled up pretty fast with our morning coffee. Thanks Kittencal for another terrific recipe.

I made these for Kittencal's Cookathon and enjoyed them so very much. I got last-minute overnight company and made them for breakfast. I didn't have all ingredients for the frosting, so served them plain with butter and marmalade on the side, in case people wanted to add a bit more flavor. They were fine as is an everyone liked them.
