Ricotta cheese is in every muffin recipe, along with many other ingredients that most people do not have as everyday ingredients in their kitchens. Others are oat bran, barley flour, wheat bran and buttermilk is also throughout. But what annoys me the most is to make any muffin recipe I must make a special trip to the store to purchase needed ingredients, that I do not normally have on hand in my kitchen. I would prefer some recipes that I can make without a special trip to the store using what I have. I would also like to say I do cook a lot and find it enjoyable. I thought when I read the unusual ingredients; well I will try it, they may be good; they weren't. I do not agree with the other reviews posted here.

This book has the BEST recipes for not only muffins, but scones, pancakes and waffles. The Buttermilk Pancakes are the best - my kids love them! "Miracle Muffins" is also great for teaching your kids how to bake and how to use healthy ingredients. All 4 of my kids (including my 14 year old son) love this cookbook. We've used it so much it's stained with oil, flour and the binding is ready to crack! You will love this book - I highly recommend it!

I have to admit, I'm addicted to muffins! I wanted to lose weight without giving them up and this book allowed me to do just that. It contains the absolute best recipes I've ever tried. When I want a sure winner, which is often, this book is my first choice. Don't be afraid to experiment, these recipes allow you to make substitutions. If I don't have low-fat ricotta cheese, I use low or non-fat yogurt. I also substitue the oil with applesauce. If you prefer whole grains like I do, use whole wheat pastry flour. Patty Keely's formula is outstanding. You can't go wrong!

This is a wonderful little book chock full of healthy and tasty low fat and low sugar recipes. My family especially loves the easy-to-make scones, in all the different varities. I wanted to buy another copy for my grown daughter, but it is no longer available. I'm hoping that the publisher will reprint more copies.
