Marvelous Millet Muffins

They are moist and crunchy and sweet like honey!  Love them.  I accidently left out the butter once and they were still delicious.
These are also from Heidi Swanson's Super Natural Everyday

1 c. plain yogurt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 c. barely melted, unsalted butter
