Belly Flattening Muffins

faith58's Note:

Got this recipe out of woman's world this week and dh wanted me to try it. It uses coconut oil which is suppose to be beneficial for your health. I doubled the recipe and got 17 jumbo muffins from it. This is not a real sweet muffin but it is tasty and we really enjoyed them. I used fat free milk in the dairy isle not powdered milk. Also you can eat on of these muffins for breakfast with a scrambled egg and also for a snack.
