I have PCOS, which makes processing sugar very difficult for me, so I try and limit my intake. Fortunately I dont have much of a sweet tooth. More like a potato chip/mac and cheese tooth. Regardless, I DO enjoy fruity sweets like pastries and muffins and tarts, and since last year, i have been through about 20 muffin attempts, and after much trial, these win for most flavor AND healthiest. And oddly they are perfect for the 4th of July thanks to their colors haha. Although i made them weeks ago, im just getting around to posting them today.
