Comments
This recipe comes from a friend at my church. She keeps the batter in the refrigerator always able to have a quick healthy something to eat. The first time I went to visit her she gave me a dozen to take home! Muffins are best when batter is allowed to sit overnight in refrigerator. Texture is light and delicious and kids really enjoy them too.
