Christmas Muffins

After pulling these muffins hot out of the oven, your family and friends will know that Christmas is near. A less heavy version of the wholemeal Christmas muffins, these muffins welcome in the holiday season. Also, these muffins are a holiday option for those who don't like fruit cake, and can also be made vegan if you substitute soy milk for regular milk.
