Basic Muffins

Vary this recipie by adding whatever fruit or nuts you like (about 1 cup)  You can also take out a little plain flour and substitute oats or sunflower seeds etc.  You can also sprinkle chopped nuts or granulated sugar on top (not so healthy).

These are very useful when you have an abundance of fruit, as they can easily be frozen for later.
