A low-fat Muffin sounds good to you?

If yes, I suggest you to try on this raspberry-lime muffin.

There is no butter or eggyolk in this receipe. Moreover, low-fat yogurt is added into this muffin.

If you are on serious plan of reducing weight, you can omit streusel topping or reduce amount of sugar which add into the receipe.
My source of this receipe is from Pillsburry's best muffins & quick breads book. I got this book a long ago and I found that its receipes are quite interesting. The author did a very good job by adding a healthy hint into this book which I found very helpful on my dieting plan. As well it has nutrition information on every receipes in this book. So you know how much calories you are consuming per serve. Isn't it good?


Orange/ Lemon juice and peel may be used in place of lime. (Actually original receipe asks for lemon, since I can't find one here, so there I go with lime) If you don't like raspberry, you can add any berries of your choice.

Muffins:
(12 muffins)

1/2 cup low fat yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 table spoons oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 egg whites
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup frozen whole raspberries

Streusel Topping

1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon margarine or butter

Heat oven 180c. Prepare 12 muffin cups.

Make streusel topping by combine all topping ingredients together with fork until crumbly.

In a small bowl, combine yogurt, oil, lime juice and eggwhites; blend well. Set aside.

In medium bowl, whisk 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, salt and lime peel.

Add yogurt mixture into flour mixture; stir until combined and moistened. Stir in frozen raspberries and fold batter again.

Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups.

Sprinkle topping over batter in cups.

Bake for 16 to 20 minutes or until muffins are golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan. Serve warm.


Have a good baking day.
Cheers!
