Apple Raisin Pecan Muffins
Let me tell you a secret. You can make almost any recipe healthier by replacing white sugar with maple syrup. Yes, it’s true! Are you asking yourself why, or how? I’ll tell you. Maple syrup is a natural form of sugar. It is minimally processed and therefore contains more nutrients than white sugar.
