Autumn Muffins image

This is a wonderful and healthy recipe I got from a Prevention cookbook several years ago. High in fiber, low in fat with no added salt, it has natural sweetness and is delicious and filling. I always use whole wheat flour with it. These also freeze nicely and can be thawed in the microwave in about 20 seconds.
