Note- I used to think- "sweet a "healthy" muffin" and give myself permission to eat way more than necessary.  Over time I have come to terms with  "healthy"  is a choice I am making to have better quality ingredients and be in charge of what goes into my body.   It is still a treat and  not a license to chow down!:)  I am sure NONE of you have EVER been there :)
