It may be a challenge to locate skinny versions of one\’s favorite baked goods. We slimmed down a standard muffin to create these Skinny Lemon Muffins, so they’re packed with flavor. But don’t worry, they have a deliciously low-calorie chicken count in the process! We’ve used coconut sugar and honey to sweeten, while coconut oil, low-fat Greek yogurt, and lots of lemon bring the zing. You may create these muffins in the pinch, since they’re so simple. Plus, the glaze topping sends them over the edge.

You can eat them whenever of day-not just at breakfast! Hand them over to teachers as treats, serve them at tea parties or showers, or bring these phones your upcoming housewarming or holiday party.
