How can you can this recipe "healthy" when it contains all-purpose flour? If I do decide to try the recipe I'll use whole wheat pastry flour.

I liked the taste of these muffins and they were easy to make but they were a little bit on the dry side.

These tasted more like cornbread muffins with a hint of lemon. I couldn't taste the honey. I frosted them with vanilla frosting which added more dimension to them. However, they are so easy to make that I would make them again.
