Morning Glory Muffins

SUBMITTED BY: Rhonda Urich

"Not only did Rhonda Urich want 'Light & Tasty' to cut the fat from her Morning Glory Muffins, but she hoped the staff could make them more nutritious. Id like to see flaxseed or whole wheat flour added, making them a healthy snack, explains the Loveland, Colorado reader. We did just that. See how in the pages of the Dec/Jan 2006 issue of 'Light & Tasty.'"
