These were pretty good, and satisfied my sisters who were a bit weary when they saw i was making low-fat muffins. Honestly, you wouldn't know they were low in fat, which is perfect for me! A sweet treat without the guilt... My 12 muffins were, like you said, small, and after only 17 minutes, they were starting to born. Might I suggest lowering the cooking temp or reducing the time a bit?

Recently married, I live in South Florida. I enjoy cooking and entertaining when I can. We recently bought a house and are trying to get our lives together. My husband loves me trying new recipes (as long as they don't have veggies!) which is great, because I love to try them. Everyone that comes to our house becomes a taste tester. :)
