I figured out that there are 226 calories per serving, if 24 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie counts vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)

         I love, love, love these muffins! There is a gentle hint of orange, which is refreshing and so darn good. They are truly healthy and low in calories. I relished the one I ate and will probably have another tonight for a snack.  I was glad that I sprinkled the wheat germ on top as it gave the topping a little crustiness, which was great. The wheat germ was optional and I recommend it.
