Notes

A reader has success turning these into lactation muffins! Add 1/2 cup oats, 2 scoops (~1/4 cup) brewers yeast, 1/4 cup flax meal, increased the applesauce to 3/4 cup and add ~1/4 cup almond milk.

Weight Watchers Points: I personally do not calculate nutritional value for my recipes, but this version was calculated by Swanson Health Products for their website and it is showing as 4 smart points. They found a light maple syrup that was only 6 smart points (instead of 12), so that would make the recipe 2-3 smart points each. It would be 5 smart points for 2 muffins if you bought a light syrup.
