Introduction

I tweaked this muffin recipe to make it a little bit more healthy than the original, although you could easily reduce the fat by subsituting unsweetened applesauce for some of the butter.
The recipe also doubles easily and the muffins freeze well. I tweaked this muffin recipe to make it a little bit more healthy than the original, although you could easily reduce the fat by subsituting unsweetened applesauce for some of the butter.
