These are really known as “Jeannette’s muffins” as it’s my dear friend, Jeannette, who first shared them with me. The recipe has been modified to lower sugar, oxalate, and sodium to make them Kidney Stone Diet-Approved.
Remember, make these to accommodate your taste. I like cranberries, but you may not, so use any low oxalate fruit you desire. I wanted less sugar, so I opted for the cranberry, but I also love them.
These muffins make for a great breakfast or snack and pair perfectly with a plain, low-fat greek style yogurt (dairy or non). An excellent source of fiber too!
You can see that I added some toasted pecans to my muffins. If you use them sparingly, you can use some too. Account for the added oxalate if you do.
