HEALTHY APPLE WALNUT MUFFINS



Healthy Apple Walnut Muffins image

Tasty low fat muffins that use fruit and buttermilk to keep them moist. No added Fat or Sugar. I have slightly revised this recipe to use less liquid and produce a "not so dense" muffin. Thank You Zaar member *mikekey* for experimenting with the liquid measurements!

I love these!!! AND they're healthy! Really, they are! They smell so good, and the taste is so wonderful. Try them and see for yourself :] However, this is obviously more of a healthy muffin, and therefor not likely to be sugary, but feel free to add more sugar if wanted.
