FAT FREE MUFFINS



Fat Free Muffins image

This is a great recipe since it's has no fat and no added sugar but tastes wonderful. If you have any alergies like I do, you can substitude the milk for almond milk (or soy if you're not alergic to it!) the eggs for Energy Egg replacer, the flour for brown rice flour or soy flour, and finally you can sub the yougurt for either rice yogurt or soy yogurt and if you don't have that you can always just put twice the amount of apple sauce. I hope this helps! :) Shanny PS you can make the muffins with or without the blueberries either way they taste great!

Yield Makes Muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/8 cup yogurt
1/8 cup apple sauce
2 Teaspoons vanilla
1 cup non fat milk
2 egg whites
1 TBSP creamed honey (or regular if there isn't any creamed)
1 3/4 cup of water
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 TSP salt
1/4 TSP baking soda
1/2 TSP baking powder
1/3 cup blended blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and make sure that the oven rack the muffins will be sitting on is in the middle of the oven and not too close to the top.
  • Mix all the wet ingrediants together and stir well until the honey has dissolved completly.
  • Mix all of the dry ingrediants together and make sure you mix that too so you don't get a mouthful of baking soda or salt.
  • Mix the dry and wet ingrediants together and stir well. Don't worry the batter isn't runny like usual muffin mixes so don't worry about it.
  • Spray a muffin tin with canola oil spray and put them in the oven and let them bake for 52 - 55 minutes.

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, mix and portion the muffin batter the night before and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply bake as directed.
  • Use Ripe Bananas: Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins, reducing the need for added sugar.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill Muffin Cups Evenly: Fill each muffin cup evenly to ensure uniform baking and consistent muffin sizes.
  • Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done. Avoid overbaking, as this can dry out the muffins.
