I took the original recipe on this site and changed it to be gluten-free and lower in sugar and fat. These muffins were highly praised, thinking these were too good to be gluten-free! I prefer to cut the fat and sugar in half using applesauce and agave nectar.

This is an heirloom recipe from my grandmother. We used to beg my mom to make these. Not intended to be placed on a grill, they are best served over rice with a nice green salad.
