Good-for-You Morning Muffins image

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."
