Rhonda Urich was thrilled when we lightened up her Morning Glory Muffins. "In fact, I made a double batch because they freeze so well," she writes from Loveland, Colorado. "My family can't wait to have them again, and I'm adding this makeover recipe to my list of favorites."

I'm allergic to blueberries, so I substituted raspberries in this recipe. They turned out great!

These muffins were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor.

The muffins were a little dry for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil next time.

I love that these muffins are made with whole wheat flour and honey. They're a healthier option than most other muffins, but they still taste great.
