Introduction

These are not diet! But, they are the best damned muffins ever.

(I am NOT a fan of oversweet desserts. These are perfection, and worth the sacrifice in my other calorie intake.)

Tips

We make this with lactase milk, since, I'm lactose intolerant.
Might be able to use sugar substitute. We've never tried that.
