These had a wonderful flavour, but we found them to be very dry. Definitely needed a glass of milk to go with them. Or we'd cut them in half, microwave them, & spread some margarine on top. I used crunchy peanut butter in place of the smooth peanut butter & added peanuts. I loved the cinnamon in these muffins.
