Morning Glory Muffins

This morning I thought I would surprise my family with fresh-baked muffins. I saw this recipe in the latest Weight Watchers magazine, and thought I'd give it a try. It came together easily and in no time we had warm-from-the-oven muffins.

Nate and I thought they were just so-so. But Caroline ate one and a half. I guess I'm used to a sweeter muffin. But the carrots and pineapple gave this some good texture.
