Just made these for my son's little league team tomorrow morning- they're still cooling! They're not bad now so I'm sure they'll be pretty good after sitting overnight (not an eat-hot-with-butter muffin, more of a snack muffin if that makes sense, but the point I wanted to make is that 25 - 30 minutes is way too long! Maybe in a regular muffin tin that would work, but in a mini-muffin tin (as specified it should be closer to 15 minutes. Happy baking!

I served these to rave reviews for a moms' coffee. They are a great size for people to eat while standing up and they have a wonderful fresh flavor and moist, chewy texture. I made them the day before and served them with cream cheese in case they had dried out a bit--as it turns out they had not dried out, but some folks still enjoyed them with the cream cheese!
