Hi there, I decided to make these into muffins as I can take them to work and will go round easier. I made half with nuts and half without. A very inventive recipe with no fat. Next time I make them I will use wholemeal flour, I think that would make a nice change. lovely muffins. Thanks for posting. Made for PAC Spring 2010
