MARVELOUS MUFFINS

Bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pans and serve warm. Makes 12 muffins. *If you are diabetic, suffer from a sugar allergy, or are highly resistant to fat loss, replace the honey or sugar with 1/4 cup frozen concentrated apple juice and 1/4 cup frozen concentrated pineapple juice. (Add 2 to 4 tablespoons of additional flour if batter looks too thin.) Use unsweetened applesauce. You now have an "A" Choice. **Purchase canned white beans and finely pureé them in your blender. The consistency should be like thick wall-paper paste or creamed shortening and sugar. If the consistency is too thick, add 1 to 3 tablespoons of water or liquid left over from the beans. ***I always make extra muffins and freeze them in freezer bags for quick future use. And remember, do not SNACK on grains first. Snack on veggie-based foods first to accelerate excess fat loss! Then, if you're still hungry, add in the grains, proteins, and fruits.
