Meet the Cook: No matter when I make these muffins - for breakfast, or for lunch to serve with a bowl of soup or salad - my husband devours them! He's retired from the Air Force, and we have four grown children. Gardening's my top hobby. -Loretta Baline, South Burlington, Vermont

CARROT ZUCCHINI APPLE MUFFINS

A friend gave me this muffin recipe and they are delicious! However, I do not know the caloric value but the 1 cup of veg oil and 3 eggs are sure to subtract from the healthy aspect. I would love to substitute these two ingredients. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Other than that, the muffins disappeared in one day!
