Method (preview)

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350. Spray muffin tin with Pam.

2. 2

   In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients well.

3. 3

   Combine sugar and wet ingredients in another bowl.

4. 4

   Beat until frothy and full of bubbles.

5. 5

   Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients.

6. 6

   Gently mix the ingredients in an almost folding action - add the blueberries, if using, when the mixture is almost mixed together, and gently combine.

7. 7

   DO NOT OVERMIX.

8. 8

   Bake for 30 mins or until they make a slight hollow sound when thumped on their tops or spring back when lightly touched on their tops.

9. 9

   Remove from oven immediately and take out of tin after 10 mins.

10. 10

    Do not leave them in the muffin tins because they'll continue to bake.

11. 11

    Use 1 cup lowfat buttermilk instead of 1 cup skimmed milk. Buttermilk will give the muffin a creamier texture and a more heightened taste.

12. 12

    Use 1 cup unsweetened applesauce instead of 1/2 mashed bananas.

13. 13

    Bananas used alone makes a muffin bounce like a rubber ball.

14. 14

    Applesauce will add moisture to your recipe.

15. 15

    Definitely add in the blueberries or any frozen or dried fruit or even chocolate chips for interest.

16. 16

    You can also add in flax seeds.

17. 17

    You may have to add in a bit 1 - 2 TBSPS or more of applesauce if the mixture is too thick. (Muffin mixtures are often thick, so be careful not to make a mushy batter).

18. 18

    The toothpick test does not work with low-fat baking recipes.

19. 19

    Bake the muffins until they make a slight hollow sound when thumped on their tops or spring back when lightly touched on their tops.

20. 20

    Remove from oven immediately, and take muffins out of the tin after 10 minutes.

21. 21

    Do not leave them in the muffin tins because they'll continue to bake.

    Let me know if this works. I think now you will have a great tasting low-fat muffin!!!
