Wonderful cake-like muffins that are good keepers. Cheesecake filling may be omitted, if you have dairy issues and they are still delicious. This recipe make 12 large "Texas Style" muffins or 24 regular sized muffins. These are a bit involved to make, but very worth the effort. I use an old-fashioned ice cream scoop to put the batter into the muffin cups as it's quick and easy and is less mess.
