ReplyDeletein the Eating For Life book it says that you can have 1 muffin with a glass of skim milk (8 oz) for a snack. So I think that with the skim milk it has everything.
ReplyDeleteThese are not meant to be a sweet muffin more along the lines of a cornbread muffin. But you can increase the agave nectar to 3/4 to acheive a sweeter taste
