I know, I usually stick to a theme for all of my recipes [it gives food purpose with a place amongst other food yummies] but today I decided to be random & share one recipe while you all wait for the unveiling of our next theme: Cinco De Mayo Fiesta!Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 t. salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 eggs
1 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup melted butter
1 t. vanilla
1 cup chopped [insert fruit of choice] fresh or frozen
optional: add chopped nuts for additional protein & cinnamon for a metabolism boost! Or try adding 1 T fresh lemon or orange zest to give a punch!
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. In a bowl, mix together flour, sugar, & baking soda. In another bowl, mix eggs, yogurt, butter, & vanilla. Toss fruit into the flour mixture. Then pour yogurt mixture into the flour mixture and stir. Spoon batter into greased muffin tins or muffin liners. Bake for 20-25 min, or until golden brown. Makes 12 muffins.
Health Fact:
By using plain yogurt instead of oil you will save 150 calories and 18g of fat per muffin! Holy-moly yoggie is awesome! Plus, you'll get 4g of protein and 2g of fiber per muffin. Oh, and as a lil' tip...yogurt is also great substitute for sour cream!
Did you make these muffins? What fruit did you use? Was it a flop or an absolute fav? Share with us!
