Whole Wheat Muffins

In an aproach to get more whole grains into my family I have been trying new "healthy" recipes. The way I see it is that it needs to be healthy- of course, but just not taste like it. This recipe for whole wheat muffins IS one of those and I did not hear one word from the kids like "Is this another one of those healthy recipes?!" They loved them-they had no idea it was good for them! This recipe comes from our State Extension Office in Utah.
