Introduction
These muffins are great. You can use non-fat yogurt or low-fat, if you wish, I usually make it with non-fat yogurt. You may also cut back on the honey, or use some agave nectar instead. I usually make it with the pecans and raisins, but you can choose to leave them out. These muffins are so good, even my kids love them! They are low in fat and calories too! These muffins are great.
