Reviews
the flavor was very good, but I would bake them for less time. Mine were a bit dry. Loved the lemony flavor though.
I used spelt flour instead of all-purpose flour ,soy milk instead of cow’s milk, and just eliminated the sugar. This made great muffins with a crunch! I’ll be making these again!
