This recipe looks great but the nutritional info looks amiss. 4 TBS of butter across 12 muffins couldn't equate to 1 gram of fat per muffin?? Am I missing something?

Hi Mary - Thanks so much for pointing that out & we are so sorry! We re-calculated it and you're right, it was a little off. It's been revised!
