Notes

These Biscuits/Muffins freeze well. Just pop in microwave on 6 power for 2 minutes if frozen or 1 minute if thawed.

Make your own healthy bread crumbs by toasting your favorite whole wheat bread and then process in food processor to fine consistency. Three slices of bread equals approximately one cup of bread crumbs.
