These are so light, moist, and yummy! I don't even care for yellow squash! So just try them! They are excellent for Thanksgiving dinner, with an autumn mulligatawny soup, or just as a snack with jam and tea! I prefer them as mini muffins, however the originally recipe cooked the batter as 18 full muffins. Even as a full muffin per serving, these are low in fat & sugar for a muffin too! This list of ingredients comes from Julia Richardson of Monroe, Michigan. I clipped it from a reader's share section of a magazine.
