Here is a great recipe that I got from one of my sisters. She is always looking for ways to make sinful little treats healthier and this recipe is a tremendous success! I love these! Good job Nora!
These muffins can be served with or without cream cheese frosting and can also be baked into larger muffins or even breakfast bread loaves. The breakfast bread baking time is about 45 minutes, but, as many of bakers already know, the true test of doneness when it comes to baked goods is not time…..always insert a toothpick or cake tester and make certain that it comes out clean. If it doesn’t, keep increasing the baking time in 3-5 minute intervals.
