    I’m in the process of making these as mini muffins. Looks like they’ll be done at 15 mins. Also using homemade dulce (microwave version — messy but quick!). My neighbors are my testers but they already look like they’ll be a hit!

    These look delicious! I’m wanting to bake my husband something, he’s returning from deployment next week. He loves banana bread and muffins and he likes caramel. I’m just wondering if these were really good or if I should make my banana muffins? I’ll be taking the extras to others in the command who may not have somebody there for them.. so I want to be sure these are delicious! Thanks for your time!

      Wow!! Congratulations on your husbands return!!! I love these but it’s personal opinion so it’s tough for me to answer for you. I suggest giving a go at them this week so you can know for sure. Plus, if you make them next week, you’ll be a pro. 🙂
