    Oh my, these are good with nothing added in them. The recipe I used to make made such heavy muffins that I was surprised at how light and tasty these were. Thanks! And these are so much cheaper to make than boxed muffins. - 4/22/09

    do you really have to use butter in this recipe? Would something like I can'[t believe it's not butter work just as well? - 4/24/09

    I don't know. Try it and let me know how it turns out. I don't eat a lot of fat, so when I do cook with it, I use the real thing. If the muffins turn out light and airy like these do with butter, please share your results. I would be happy to reduce my trans fat by 2 grams.
