Heat oven to 350
spray muffin tin with no stick oil (or perhaps use paper liners - these were just sl. tricky to get out w/oil)
Use a fork to mix all ingredients together well in mixing bowl
Spoon into muffin cups - Ok to fill pretty high - they don't rise that much.
Bake 35 min or so, until knife comes out clean.
Cool and enjoy!
Makes 6 yummy muffins.
Serving suggestion - add a dollop of greek yogurt or sour cream plus sprinkle of chives or dill to each muffin.
Serve with a nice mixed greens salad and lemon juice/olive oil dressing.
Enjoy!
