1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat it to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray twelve 2 3/4-by-1 1/2 inch nonstick muffin cups with oil.

2. Empty the Heart Smart Muffin Mix ingredients into a medium bowl. Set aside.

3. In another medium bowl, using a handheld electric mixer set at medium speed, beat the 3/4 cup low-fat (or regular) buttermilk, 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, 2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar (from the Ziploc bag), 1 large egg, 1 1/2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until frothy, about 2 minutes.

Light Raspberry Muffins

A real favorite. A light, lemony muffin filled with berries.

2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon minced lemon zest
1 egg
2 lightly beaten egg whites
1 cup Low Fat Blend (recipe below)
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 pint raspberries
12 paper or foil muffin cups

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, cream the sugar, oil, and zest. Add the egg and egg whites and mix completely. Add the Low Fat Blend and combine well. Add the vanilla and lemon juice and combine.

Slowly add the flour and baking powder, stirring until completely blended.

When the batter is smooth, add the raspberries and gently mix until the berries are somewhat blended; do not over mix and break up the berries.

Place the paper cups in a muffin tin. Fill the cups three quarters full with the batter. Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

NOTE: Blueberries make an equally terrific muffin.

Health concious Blend

Yield: 2 cups

1 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1 cup low-fat or nonfat cottage cheese

Place the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. The mixture can be blended by hand. A food processor will not give the same consistency - it tends to break the mixture down and make it watery rather then creamy. I stash it in a plastic container in the fridge to use by the cup or spoonful in a myriad of ways. I use it in mousses and sauces, and as a replacement for sour cream, mayonnaise, or heavy cream. If non fat cottage cheese is available, so much the better.

Extra Large Muffins

These muffins are extra large and yummy with the
sugary-cinnamon crumb topping

Cook Time: approx. 25 Minutes

Make the topping first and set aside, then make the muffin batter…

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1 cup fresh blueberries ( You can use less…and make another batch)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions
1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F .Grease
muffin cups VERY WELL or line with muffin liners.

2 Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and
baking powder. Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring
cup; add the egg and enough milk to fill the cup. Mix this
with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups

3 To Make Crumb Topping:
Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3
cup flour, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon.
Mix with fork, then rub thru your fingers…and sprinkle over muffins before baking.

4 Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or
until done.
Test with a toothpick.
Let sit about 3 minutes, then remove from tins. Gently run a knife around to loosen.

Btw… you can substitute raspberries, chocolate chips for the blueberries…
In either case, toss the berries or chips in flour so they don’t sink.

Also if the blueberries aren’t sweet, sprinkle them also with additional sugar.

Cinnamon Streusel Mini-Muffins

Enjoy sweet and spicy muffins that are “maxi” in flavor and mini in size.

1 box Betty Crocker® cinnamon streusel muffin mix
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs

  1. Heat oven to 425ºF. Place miniature paper baking cup in each of 36 mini-muffin cups, or grease bottoms only of muffin cups.

  2. In medium bowl, stir Muffin Mix, milk, oil and eggs just until blended. Spoon about 1 tablespoonful batter into each muffin cup so cups are about two-thirds full. Sprinkle Streusel over batter in each cup.

  3. Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown and tops spring back when lightly touched. Cool 3 to 4 minutes; remove from pan.

Note:
If you end up with empty cups in your muffin pan, and you’ve greased them: fill the empty ones half full with water. It will keep the grease from burning, and all the cups will bake more evenly.
