Very nice, fluffy and not too sweet. Like a couple other reviewers, I was dubious (and double-checking the recipe) when it was looking more like cookie dough than muffin batter, but after baking they turned out just fine.

I made these this morning and my family loved them. They were light and moist. I definitley will make these again. I put the filling mixture on top of the muffins instead of in the middle, they still came out very tasty.

Very difficult to not just eat the batter, which is like cake batter. Divine!

Very light and fluffy. Deligious. I needed to use some sour cream up and this was just perfect

I'm not rating these since I did substitute plain vanilla for the sour cream. I'm not sure if it affecting my texture. I felt the muffins were a little greasy. Judging from the other reviews I suspect the error was mine! Roxygirl
