Muffins

We had our girls Bible study here today and for snack one of the girls brought these yummy muffins from Trader Joe's. I have had these muffins before and they are healthy and good. However they are really big - you could split one - they cost a lot and they spoil quickly. The spoiling part is good because you know for sure they don't have preservatives. Anyway I decided I wanted to try to make my own muffins similar to those. They are sweetened with white grape juice and I happened to have some left over from the jello cups. I took a peek at the ingredient list and went from there. My muffins turned out great and Jason said they are better than the Trader Joe's ones. I was excited to make such a yummy muffin recipe so I will share it with you.
