This is my mother-in-law’s favorite little muffin. When she came out to visit, I baked a batch and sent them with her so she would have sustenance for the plane ride home.
I like these muffins because they are not only light and fluffy, they are also high in protein and fiber and lower in sugars than the average muffin. Make that much lower in sugars. They are quite a refreshing treat and I hope you like them as much as my mother-in-law does.
