Despite the above, I have been able to make some yummy food. Though, I've opted for quick and easy recipes to limit the amount of time I'm moving around. Some of them turned out good and others not so good. You can tell when I put all of my efforts into something vs. not so much. When you're sick, you want comfort food. For me, comfort mood = muffins. On my never-ending search for healthy muffins, I stumbled upon these. I'm delighted to say that the muffins were very, very good. When you use applesauce and WW flour in place of other typical muffin ingredients (such as AP flour and oil), the muffins might turn out too dry or too dense. These combined both types of ingredients and kept the muffins moist and tasty.
I cut the recipe in half to yield 6 muffins. They were delicious when paired with my morning cup of coffee!
