[Upsidedown Again]

I was very happy to find a healthy muffin recipe that didn't have a long list of special ingredients that I don't know how to substitute. However, after mixing these up, I realized that the amount of flour is off. I added another cup and mixed again, then had to mix them a third time when I realized I forgot the oil. Needless to say, they were quite heavy but the flavor was nice. I will be trying these again with the full amount of flour, not to mention the oil. I'm hoping they turn out, because I sure would like a good, simple. healthy muffin recipe.
