Chris says: Mmmmmm.... This delicious recipe was submitted to us by Sharmaine Kruijver. It makes about 12 muffins - so if you need more or less, just adjust the quantities accordingly. You can also store any uneaten muffins for several days after you cook them.

You can store any uneaten muffins in an air-tight container or in the refrigerator for several days.
