Post a CommentI like zucchini muffins, so this recipe should be even better for me.
It sounds delicious Charlene! :)
Thanks for commenting and good questions! I'm afraid I don't know the calorie count of these but I will try and figure it out. As far as the oat flour, I often mix it with my regular flour and have not had to adjust the liquid levels on this recipe. Hope that helps. :-)
My husband has to watch his sugar intake so this recipe is excellent for him. Since I am the baker in the family, I like the fact that it is quick and easy. I also appreciated the fact that the author says she also has substituted oat flour. I am pretty sure she must have liked the results or she wouldn't have offered it up. Would like to ask a couple of questions...by substituting oat flour did she find it necessary to change the proportion of liquids she used?, and any idea how many calories for individual minis? Thanks again for the good receipe.
