Yummy lower fat muffins! Mild flavor with a hint of maple. Not overly sweet, just nice and healthy. I always eat my muffins on the go, but these would be nice with apple butter, too. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

We're trying to use more whole wheat and natural sugars in our diet. So DH and I gave this one a try. We used pure maple syrup in the place of honey and golden raisins. The muffins baked up nicely and were mild in flavor.
