A bit crumbly...December 05, 2009By jijibug
"I made these this afternoon, and they're delicious... however the batch I cooked in my silicone muffin ""tin"" came out very crumbly. I cooked the rest in a metal muffin tin with paper pockets, and they came out much ""stronger"". All in all... Very good. :)"
