LOW FAT MUFFINS THAT ARE CLEAN-EATING APPROVED
I was definitely dreading the end of summer, my favorite season, but I'm ready to embrace Fall in all of its sepia toned glory. Right now the weather is perfect and the eating is good too, when all goes right in the test kitchen. I love to make up healthy recipes that don't use processed sugar or animal fat. This one came out truly delicious with all the flavors of the season.
