Reviews
“These are great!They bake up dense and moist — not spongy or odd-textured like some low fat, sugar free muffins.I will be making these often.”
“Better that most of the healthy recipes I have tried. Thanks for posting it.”
“I followed the directions to a T and was a little concerned as the mixture seemed a little heavy, but after baking for 30 minutes they came out of the oven looking, smelling and tasting delicious, the honey gives these muffins a lovely flavour. I got 12 large muffins.”
