Thanks to Luv4food for posting her fabulous muffin recipe. My husband was recently diagnosed with diabetes so I made a few alterations to help lighten the sugar load. I did take her suggestion to add chocolate chips as the small amount is worth the yummy surprise when eaten.

  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a muffin pan with a non-stick coating: This will help the muffins to release easily from the pan.
  • Fill the muffin cups to the top: This will help the muffins to rise evenly.
