Personal Notes:
These muffins were a staple in the Nelson home. Sharla made them often with chocolate chips, of course! I have made them healthier by substituting canola oil, yogurt or applesauce for the shortening. I've also used mostly whole wheat flour or added a jar of wheat germ. Most recently, I've added ground flax seed and a little brown sugar to muffin tops before baking.
