"Hearty" and filling, these low fat breakfast muffins taste great without adding cholesterol or added oil to your diet. Muffins store great in a covered container in the refrigerator - just warm in the microwave. I have been experimenting with cooking low fat and low cholesterol recipes for my husband. Bake in a pre-heated 400 degree oven.

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a muffin pan with liners: Liners make it easy to remove the muffins from the pan and help prevent sticking.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before storing: This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.
