These really are the best! I sent some home with my son, and his roommate called to ask for the recipe. I did cut back just a little on the baking powder, which can have a bitter taste, but other than that I made it as directed. Most muffin and quick breads are too sweet for us. This recipe is perfect. The dates and raisins made the muffins sweet without being overly sweet. With a cup of fresh, hot coffee ... what a treat! -
These muffins were not really what I expected. They were not at all sweeet, and had an almost bitter taste to them - the dominant taste seemed to be the cloves. I wonder if perhaps white sugar was omitted from the recipe by accident. Sorry I couldn't give a better review.
