Hearty Morning Muffins

SUBMITTED BY: Elaine Kauffman

"'These delicious muffins are loaded with goodies,' writes Elaine Kauffman of Tofield, Alberta. 'I got the recipe from our pastor's wife. We like them for Sunday breakfast, but it's a good idea to double the recipe and keep some in the freezer for brown-bag lunches during the week.'"
