Plain Low Fat Muffin Variations
These low fat muffin variations complement the plain low fat muffins recipe I've already posted. This will enable to bake at least another 6 types of muffins. As I said before. The plain recipe is the mother of all muffin recipes. ;-)
You can create your own variations too. Just make sure you calculate the nutritional values if you're on a weight loss plan. Enjoy!
