These muffins look really fantastic! I'm definitely going to give them a try in the next few weeks. I'm intrigued by the resting time for the batter. I'd always been under the impression that when you made muffins the goal was to get the batter in the oven as quickly as possible once you combined the wet and dry ingredients. Learn something new every day! I echo all of the sentiments about the photos - I really like them and they're helpful for some of the more complex recipes. It's super helpful to be able to see what something should look like at a particular point in the recipe. Tracey, I'm with you - I thought speed was of the essence, esp. when using baking soda. So I was prepared to trade off a bit of rise for softening the Flav-R-Bites. Was I surprised when just the opposite happened - MORE rise! You learn something new every time you step into the kitchen, huh? What fun... PJH
