I have been looking for something I can take with me for breakfast and I think this is it! I was a little worried that they wouldn't be moist enough as so many muffins that omit oils are... but this one came out great. Thanks! -
Everyone loved these. I skipped the sugar all together and used stevia powder, about 3 tsp for the batch. I had no problem with the lack of sugar for "fill." I added the raisins and used white whole wheat flour. -
These are some delicious muffins! They freeze well too. Thanks! -
These are so yummy! I followed the recipe as is and did opt for the raisins. They turned out great! -
Great recipe! Easy to make--my 4 yr old helped make them then helped eat them too. And she's a real picky eater. I made it without the raisins and made mini-muffins (about 30, baked for 20 min at 350 degrees).

Oh! the plight of every mother, to make nutritious meals and snacks that everyone will enjoy, including herself!
Because so many "low-fat" recipes are "no-flavour" turnouts, I make it a goal to reduce the amount of fat but maintain the flavour. The reward is serving it to my family, and them saying, "This is low fat?!?!?!? Wow, can we have it tomorrow?"
I try to bake every week but I am rarely succesful in creating a cookie that is low fat and great tasting. So, sometimes I actually follow a recipe.
