This recipe comes from the University of Maine’s Food and Health, and is a real treasure trove of nutritious food resources that fit just about anyone’s budget. This low-fat muffin recipe is no exception. With a hint of lemon flavor (their suggestion is to use lemon yogurt if you want to intensify that flavor), these muffins are light and airy.
