Easy Low Fat Spice Muffin Recipe
I cook a lot with yogurt as a substitute and I’m finding it to be a great option! I provides the moisture that baked goods needs while cutting out a lot of things we don’t want. By using yogurt in this Easy Low Fat Spice Muffin recipe you can cut out the eggs, milk and oil and you still have a very yummy tasting muffin that is under 150 calories!
If you want to jazz these muffins up a bit, you can add raisins (yellow raisins are my favorite with these!) or nuts. My hubby likes to put these in a bowl and pour milk over them as soon as they come out of the over. Obviously, this trick will work with other box cake mixes as well, so try different variations and flavors. For this batch, we went with the Betty Crocker Delights Super Moist Spice Cake Mix. They aren’t the prettiest muffins, but they are so yummy!
Ingredients:
- 1 box of Betty Crocker Spice Cake Mix
- 1 5.3 oz, container of VANILLA Greek Yogurt
- 1 cup of Water
Step by Step:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a muffin pan.
- In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients.
- Using a hand mixer, mix on high for about 2 minutes, until very smooth.
- Spoon better into muffin tins filling them up about 2/3 of the way full. Beat muffin tin on a flat surface a few times, to let batter even out before placing it in the oven.
- Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, util toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool.
You might also consider doubling this recipe as these freeze wonderfully and they are great to grab on those busy chaotic mornings when everyone is hustling to get out the door. Just pop them in the microwave and they thaw quick and yummy! (I store them in Ziploc freezer bags)
If you want to fancy them up a bit, you could also shake a little powdered sugar on top of them before you serve them.
