Morning Glory Muffins

Posted on February 25, 2013 by four sweetie pies

Happy Monday Morning friends,

As promised, here is the recipe for these super yummy and very filling Morning Glory Muffins! I love this kind of muffin and I’ve revamped this one to make it a healthy, low-fat 4 PointsPlus per muffin option! You could easily add nuts to this recipe, but it will raise your PointsPlus numbers, and since my daughter has a serious tree nut allergy, you’ll notice I do not bake with any nuts in my recipes. My next endeavor is re-working a nut-free granola recipe…stay tuned for that!

If you need a hearty, wholesome treat, I would recommend this choice:)
