Bonnie's Healthy Passover Muffins
Sometimes it's hard to find healthy choices on Passover, but these whole grain muffins make great snacks and the recipe can also be made as a side dish.
This Passover recipe is easy to throw together and it's great as a muffin or a side dish. My kids calls these "Healthy Muffins," so in our house, the name kind of stuck. They're a symphony of delicious tastes in concert with a wealth of fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals—you'll make them all year through.
