I used some of Teresa's tips, but only egg whites, and yogurt instead of milk, all whole wheat flour. I made it as a small cake in a square pan, great breakfast food! Good, fast recipe!

Your are right, Kree, these ARE delicious and easy! I made them Vegan by substituting the egg with 1 medium banana (mashed) and reduced calories by substituting the oil with applesauce. This made them sweet enough to eliminate the sugar! The extra volume of these substitutions makes around 14 muffins. I am going to skip the salt next time, too. They are very yummy and filling. With the substituions they are only 90 calories each. Thank you for this recipe! Teresa

I made these for my 1 year old who barely took purees and now won't take anything for a spoon. I like to make her foods that are low in sugar and healthy. These muffins are super easy and they are really yummy! I had one fresh from the oven because they smelled so good! You can tell they are low sugar but by no means do they taste like "health food" or cardboard. I agree with the person above that the baking powder was a bit strong so I will cut back next time. I did not add any salt and the 3 tsp baking powder made up for this. I'm hoping these will replace what used to be oatmeal for breakfast since she can pick at this herself.
