Excellent muffins! Light and moist. Don't skip the glaze, and please use fresh lemon juice! It really adds a wonderful flavor that compliments the raspberries. I wasn't sure which type of wheat germ to use, so went with toasted. Used part lowfat yogurt which I needed to use up, and part lowfat sour cream. Just realized these don't have any added fat. They certainly don't taste lower fat. My son spotted these beauties as soon as he came home from school and promptly gobbled down a couple. Two thumbs up from us! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

We really enjoyed these for breakfast! Next time I will probably spray the muffin tins instead of using liners, as so much stuck to the liners. I made a bunch of changes to decrease the calories and fat. I used almonds instead of pecans, 1/4 cup splenda, and fat free sour cream, skim milk, and 2 egg whites. They were light and fluffy and had the nutty wheat germ taste. Thanks so much!!
