These little guys beg the age old question: when do you call it a muffin and when do you call it a cupcake? They are packed with whole wheat flour and no frosting so I believe they sit firmly on the side of muffin, but Martha Stewart disagrees (maybe it’s all the sugar??)
At any rate, these whole grain cuties will satisfy your sweet tooth without feeling like you ate 3 days worth of butter. Not that I am opposed to copious butter usage, but you know, sometimes something lighter for breakfast/snacking is what your looking for.
