These are delicious!! They have a delightful scent, a wonderful slightly-sweet flavor, a great medley of textures--and they bake up beautifully! I scaled the recipe down to 6 muffins, and used sodium-free baking powder (it acts like the regular kind, but adds no sodium); then served the muffins for dinner (with a vegetable salad and cottage cheese). They make excellent dinner muffins! This is the kind of tasty, healthy, easy recipe I love to find on 'Zaar, and I'll definitely make it again! Thanks for posting, Veggie Chef 2!!
