They were delicious. After I made them, though, I had a thought - I used black treacle instead of molasses but what is the actual UK equivalent? It made my muffins very...treacly. Maybe I should I have used (what we call) golden syrup. We do have molasses over here but you don't see it too much nowadays. Anyway, regardless of these quibbles, they were lovely and I will be making them again! I'm thinking of an apple and ginger combo for the winter months.

I hate those people on allrecipes who, like, replace the cream with skim milk or "fat-free half-and-half" (which is just skim milk with chemicals and coloring) and then complain about the result not being creamy enough. What makes things creamy, people?? FAT! Anyway, these muffins look deeelicious. But I won't have time to make them 'til I finish moving...and like you, I'm going from a small kitchen to a tiny kitchen - literally zero counterspace built into it. Ay yi yi...

This clearly shows how delicious the muffins turn out. Thanks for sharing!

I've just moved to Scotland and my new place isn't quite as replete with baking equipment as I'm used too, hence no muffin tray. Oh well, you live and learn, they were tasty and not too sweet, even if they did resemble really big, soft bran-raisin cookies!! Hi Deb,

I currently live in Rochester NY but moved here after living in Nashville for four years. Dinosaur is only OK as far as BBQ goes and it tries too hard to authentic (decor and menu) and misses the boat while its at it. There is at least one place in Rochester (Sticky Lips) that has more authentic BBQ - and better prices to boot! I wouldn't say don't go, just don't make a special trip out of it.

I am currently a Rhode Island girl but spent a number of years out in Rochester NY where I fell in love with Dino BBQ (and Tip Top diner, Nick's garbage plate, and Wegmans...). I miss Dino BBQ. Especially in the summer when all the bikers come out. I recently found your blog - it definitely has me smitten. Please keep on. :) Best Claire Dino BBQ!!!

I`m definately trying. God, the kind of “detox” that shows on these photos seems far more exciting than the other spooky alternatives. I`m definately trying.
