Another vegan recipe that is sure to please! Muffins can pack in as many as 600 calories each! There are healthier options on the market now: http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-muffins ic1806. I enjoy a nice 100 calorie, chocolate VitaTop on occassion. Though, they are a little pricey and making your own is much more satisfying! I made these prior to going on a road trip. I stopped in to visit with some family on the way and they loved these muffins so much that they were gone before I left the same day! I think they are the perfect muffin, super moist and very easy to make. Try using the same recipe with blueberries, apples or other fillings.
