  1. I didnโ€™t have sour cream so blended up 1 cup of cottage cheese until smooth and added that instead. ย They turned out amazing, so good, now with extra protein. ย Great recipe! ย 

  2. LeeAnn Hess says:

    Can the batter be made the night before? Then cook them in the morning.

  3. I made these tonight to go with our ham and bean soup. They are wonderful. I did cut the sugar in half for the crumble and it was fine. Thanks for sharing this recipe.ย 

  4. Can you make these as mini muffins. ย If so, how long and at what temperature should I cook them.
    I did make the large size and they were awesome!

Where to next?
