BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

By ldelmas

Ingredients

• Makes 12 Muffins
• Ingredients
• 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
• 1/3 cup light orange juice
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup no-calorie granulated sweetener*
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup fresh blueberries

Preparation

Step 1

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray 12 muffin cups with nonstick baking spray (Paper or foil liners may be added before spraying. Spraying the inside of paper liners with baking spray will keep the muffins from sticking to the paper.)

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the first five ingredients (yogurt through vanilla extract). Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, stir together the next five ingredients (flour through baking soda). Add blueberries and stir lightly to coat with flour. Make a well in center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yogurt mixture. Using a large spoon or spatula, stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Spoon the batter evenly into prepared muffin tins, filling each cup 2/3 full.

4. Bake for 15 minutes or until the center springs back when lightly touched. Cool for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack.

Note: While these never last long in my house, leftover muffins can be tightly wrapped and frozen. To refresh simply pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds or until warm.

*To use all natural Truvia for Baking use 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons, and omit adding both the sweetener and the granulated sugar.
