Good recipe. I got 19 regular size muffins from this recipe. I did alter it a bit. I used eggbeaters, 1/3 c. oil and 1/3 c. applesauce and I reduced the sugar to 3/4 c. I didn't add any walnuts either, I was trying to save calories. They are 3 WW pts each.

This recipe is really tasty!! I used the three eggs instead of the egg whites, omitted the lemon juice and nuts, and used the kamut and gluten free flour I had on hand. They turned out perfect!! I will definitely use this recipe to mix and match.
