Basic Muffin Recipe
- 2 Cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
- ½ Cup Granulated Splenda
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 Cup (8 ounces) Vanilla Low-Fat Yogurt or Soy Yogurt
- ¼ Cup Low-Fat Milk, Rice Milk or Soymilk
- 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a mixing bowl and stir together. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the remaining ingredients. Stir together until well blended, but don't over beat. The batter should be medium-thick. If it seems too stiff or dry, add a small amount of additional milk.
Stir in the additional ingredient or ingredients of your choice (see below), then divide the batter among 12 oiled or foil-lined muffin tins.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean. Let cool until just warm to touch, then transfer muffins to a plate. Store them in the refrigerator so they don't get moldy from the moist fruit.
