Introduction

My whole family loves these! Although they may seem small (considering the size of muffin we can get in a bakery) but we always add a helping of fruit or yogurt for breakfast. Yummy!

    This is a great recipe, the muffins are moist & tasty. But YOU MUST SIFT THE DRY INGREDIENTS or you can end up with baking soda lumps. Yuck! Sifting also makes the muffins bigger and fluffier. No need for a second bowl, just dump dry ingredients straight into the sifter and sift into the wet bowl. - 5/4/09

    Try using Truvia, natural calorie-free sweetner made from stevia plant. You can get it at Whole Foods. Also, try using whole wheat flour. And make your own applesauce-it doesn't need added sugar. - 4/24/09

    Don't skip the eggs, it is protein and much needed, if you want to lighten it up use egg white substitute, you lose the fat, but you gain even more protein. SWEET RECIPE....THANKS!!!! - 4/23/09
