I made these delicious muffins this morning and I had one for breakfast. I'm trying to eat low carb. I added nutmeg and a granny smith apple to this as well as some dark raisins. Oh yummy, I so enjoyed this recipe. I'm going to try them with different things in them next time. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
