Nice fudgey LOW-FAT treat! They have the typical rubbery texture of low-fat baked products but that's a small price to pay for the flavour & health factor. Perfect for lunches!

OMG . . . these were to die for! I substituted the sugar for Splenda (same amount) and the all purpose flour for almond flour/meal (same amount) I added two tablespoons of homeade unsweetened applsauce. I cant wait to make them again!

These muffins are great, they don't taste like low fat at all. I used splenda instead of sugar and added a few choc chips. delicious.

This was a simple recipe that tasted very good. I liked that there were no eggs and butter in it and that it had yogurt. My girls really liked it and I'll probably make it for a treat day at school. I think it would be good with some mini chocolate chips in it!

Simply marvelous. I made 6 muffins and popped 5 in the freezer hoping to keep myself from eating all of them. I used 1 tbsp of sugar and made up the rest of the 3/8 cup that it ask for with Splenda. They raise beautifully, in fact the batter was so fluffy I wasn't sure that I was going to get it all in the 6 cups! Aside from using the Splenda I wouldn't change a thing. Mine were start pulling things out the cupboard to out of the oven in 20 mins! This one is a real keeper, Thank you Reds.
