I have some ‘connections’ because of where I work and was invited to be on a show on Food Network Canada yesterday as part of the ‘audience’. I had to sign a bunch of non-disclosures so I cannot say anything about it. But OMG, it was so cool! Stay tuned to 2012 when it is aired and I can talk about it. I am sure to be somewhere for a split second or two.
We’re having a dear old friend and his new fiancé for dinner this Saturday; they live about an hour away, so we’ve invited them to stay over. I’m making a healthy meal (stay tuned) and low fat blueberry oatmeal bran muffins for breakfast.

Those are some wonderful looking muffins – even if you do say they are overcooked. Give me a cup of coffee and a bag of these and I’ll be all set for a nice afternoon!

Thank you Angie. I’m making them again tonight but without the liners, and switching out the yogurt for unsweetened apple sauce. They will likely look identical.

What i have found in my low/no fat muffin recipes is that because there is little oil or fat (a good thing) the muffin won’t be able to release itself from the liners. Better bet is just to spray your tins and enjoy the fat free goodies.

Thanks Pam, I’m definitely making them again without the liners (too bad, there were adorable!). I am also going to switch out the yogurt with unsweetened apple sauce. Otherwise they are pretty darn tasty!
