Either spray muffin tin with cooking spray or use a basting brush to very lightly brush with olive oil. 1-2 teaspoons of oil will do all 12 muffin cups.

Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Use a knife to release muffins from sides of tin.

To reduce calories and fat and increase nutritional value even more, substitute 1/2 C applesauce for the 1/2 C olive oil.
