This is a lovely recipe that gives you muffins to feel good about. No only are they delicious but you can have 2 with a cup of coffee and not need to skip half of your dinner because of it. I got 18 standard sized muffins from it. Mine were baked at 350 F for 20 mins and came out perfect with no tough bottoms or sides. The muffins are moist, tender and yummy with 1/4 cup of oil. They are not overly sweet so no need to adjust the Splenda. Just make, bake and enjoy. Made for Comfort Cafe, Summer 09.

Just added my first child to my family in June 2008. I am learning to be a good mom and homemaker and it is a real challenge, but a great one! I love to cook and try new ideas. I also love the outdoors, travel, live basketball, running, hiking...etc!! I am a southern girl at heart and I love being a housewife.
I love all types of foods and I love to re-make recipes into a more "healthy" versions.
