These muffins used to be a staple in our house. The kids loved them. Usually made the mini versions.

The original recipe called for quite a bit of sugar. I have removed the sugar and replaced it with some maple syrup. I think it works.

It is the latest treat recipe to be ‘shifted’.  I hope that your  family enjoys them as much as ours.
