Lighter Orange-Cranberry Muffins

08

Sometimes when I start a blog post, I already have a story in mind to tell you, or information to give you about the dish, or maybe how I came across a particular ingredient. Sometimes I have absolutely nothing to say whatsoever.  Today would be one of those days.  It is Friday, afterall, and it’s been a long week.  Actually I feel like it’s been a long January.  Am I alone here?

I make healthier muffins all the time, and like experimenting with combinations that still taste good, but don’t have a stick of butter and a cup of sugar in them. So, there is nothing terribly new, or diffierent, or exciting about this post, but I wanted to share a tried & true healthy muffin recipe with you. These muffins have 1/4 cup heart-healthy canola oil, which means just a teaspoon per muffin. They are citrusy and sweet, and that little canola oil and yogurt makes them especially moist for being a lower calorie/fat muffin. You can substitute part of the oil for unsweetened applesauce, which will make them even lower in fat, if you want.

  1. Muffins are such an easy way to pile up fat and calories. Before you know it you’ve eaten 15 and all your calories for the day. A lightened up muffin is always a godsend!

  2. I’m definitely on a muffin kick, and I’m planning on making similar muffins tomorrow (but they’re not quite as “light”). I will have to try this recipe sometime too.
