Low Fat Muffins

[judy]

I eat one of these every day for lunch. I used to buy them, but since I retired, I can't find any as good as where I worked. This recipe is still a work in progress. Any tweaks, suggestions, etc. would be wonderful!

Preheat the oven to about 400
Grease your muffin pan

2 cups of cake flour
1/2 cup sugar substitute (using Splenda - too expensive - any ideas?)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
4 tsp baking powder
Mix in a large bowl

In another bowl:
1 egg (or egg substitute)
3 tbl. butter substitute, melted
1 cup fat free yogurt
1 tsp vanilla

Mix the eggs, etc. into the flour and mix. Don't mix until it's a smooth paste. It should be a bit lumpy.
Bake for from 12 - 25 minutes, depending on your oven.; When you stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean, they're done.


Options: I add about 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, as many blueberries as I have, and whatever other fruit I have. I'll cut up a peeled apple, a banana, add a jar of cranberry sauce or pumpkin, etc.

I have a pan that makes giant, deli size muffins and get 6 from this recipe. Next time, I'm going to double it and make 12. They can be frozen.
