Healthy Apple Walnut Muffins image

Tasty low fat muffins that use fruit and buttermilk to keep them moist. No added Fat or Sugar. I have slightly revised this recipe to use less liquid and produce a "not so dense" muffin. Thank You Zaar member *mikekey* for experimenting with the liquid measurements!

These muffins are full of grains, apples and nuts that are good for you. I found the recipe on a box of milled flax seed. Flax seed is nature's richest plant source of OMEGA-3 OILS!
