The amaretto adds an even more distinct almond flavor but if you don't have it, you can use almond extract instead.

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These muffins were a hit! They were moist, flavorful, and the perfect balance of sweet and tart. I added a streusel topping, which took them to the next level.
