Muffins
I don't make muffins as often as I'd like.  It seems I seldom have enough time.  Sometimes I pick up some at IGA when I haven't baked them in a long while.  They have a couple of really good low fat varieties, an apple cinnamon and a bran blueberry.  When I make muffins, they generally aren't low fat (well, except for my raisin bran ones which are low fat and tastey).  I make a really good blueberry muffin complete with sugar crusting on top that I don't even want to know the nutritional information on...or I might not be able to eat one again.  But this gotten me to thinking... Why is it that something that sounds like it is so good for you, a muffin, often really not?  Once in a while, Les and I have gotten fruit explosion muffins from Tim Horton's with our coffee for a treat, but I read the other day that there are actually more calories in one of those muffins than in a donut!  You mean I've been skipping the double chocolate in favour of a fruit muffin all this time for not?!   
If any of you out there have any good low fat muffin recipes, leave me a note in the comments...
