Recipe by Mimi in Maine

I made these at the request of my oldest granddaughter who likes healthy food. Even though these may be put in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, you may bake them all at once and freeze them. They are so moist and good. Very healthy as they are lower in fat than some and eggs whites are used in place of the whole eggs. They make about 24 muffins.
