Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 12; 1 muffin per serving

Ingredients

Cooking spray (if not using paper bake cups)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup uncooked oat bran
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup fat-free plain yogurt
1/4 cup egg substitute or 1 large egg
1 tablespoon canola or corn oil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray or line with paper bake cups. Set aside.

    Step 2

    In a large bowl, stir together the flours, oat bran, raisins, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.

    Step 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, egg substitute, and oil. Pour into the flour mixture, stirring until the batter is just moistened but no flour is visible. Don’t overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into each muffin cup.

    Step 4

    Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

  2. Cook’s Tip on Paper Bake Cups

    Step 5

    Let the muffins cool completely before removing the paper bake cups. This will keep the paper from sticking and pulling off part of the muffin.
