Muffin Recipes

[annetoin]

Hi,

I never made muffins before but am tempted to try some after reading some of the reviews. Are you supposed to use a mini muffin pan for these recipes? If so, wouldn't you be tempted to eat more than one...kinda defeats the purpose. Please advise

I don't know which recipes you are talking about. You can make any muffins in mini pans - just cook for less time. I find one muffin (cupcake pan size) is plenty for me at breakfast, along with fruit and yogurt. Sometimes I'll have one for a late night snack, but two is too much, IMO.

I think what you're asking is if the Cooking Light muffin recipes are written for mini-muffin pans (and that's why they're light). No, for CL recipes they are for standard muffin pans. The nutritional information listed is for one regular sized muffin. You could make them in mini-muffin pans, but you'd get way more than 12 muffins, and thus you could eat more than one. Hope that answers your question.

Thanks Grace. That's what I was looking for. I want to start baking muffins for breakfast, but was unsure as to what pan CL typically refers to.

Thank you.

I made CL Blueberry Yogurt Muffins this weekend and they were great. Does anyone have any other lowfat muffin recipes?
