The first thing I need to say is that I skipped the cheese to avoid all of that sat fat. Now, having said that, these were really delicious. I reversed the amounts of whole wheat and a.p. flours and Splenda brown sugar blend in about 2/3 the amount ask for. Fuji apple worked a charm here. I made the recipe in the amount of 3 and got 6 lovely standard muffins. Perfect for Fall :D. -
This muffin has a very nice flavour and isn't too sweet. I used buttermilk in place of plain milk since it needed to be used up and Macintosh apples. The pecans add a nice crunch. I tasted one soon after removing them from the oven and another the following morning. I think the second muffin actually tasted better that the hot of the oven muffin. I made 12 regular sized muffins rather than 6 huge ones. Thanks for posting, Sam. I'm always looking for healthy foods to pack in DD's lunches.
