Effortlessly Chuck

I know, the name doesn’t sound sexy. But these muffins are my favorite. They are low sugar, low fat and pack a hefty amount of fiber that will make you feel full all morning. Pair with yogurt and fruit and get to ready to soar through your day! The original recipe is from Trish Magwood but I made a couple modifications throughout the years. You can find the original recipe in her cookbook In My Mother’s Kitchen.
