These are SO good! However not so fat-free. I do replace the oil in the recipe with applesauce. Tip: Anytime a recipe calls for veg. oil, use applesauce. The oil is simple to keep it moist. Why add all the extra fat and calories when applesauce does the same. Plus it doesn"t taste any different!
Ingredients:
Muffins
*3/4 c. milk
*1/4 c. applesauce (or oil if you want to go full fat..)
*1 large egg
*2 c. flour
*1/2 c. sugar (or feel free to use Splenda to cut even more fat and calories.)
*2 tsp. baking powder
*1/2 tsp. salt
*1 c. frozen or fresh blueberries
Streusel Topping (if you desire..it makes them BETTER!!)
*1/4 c all purpose flour
*1/4 c. sugar
*1/4 tsp. cinnamon
*2 tblsp. firm, cold butter
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease muffin pan (12 med. cups) with cooking spray or line with baking cups.
2. Make strusel topping and set aside
3. Beat milk, applesauce and egg in large bowl with fork or wire whisk. Stir in flour, sugar, baking powder and salt all at once just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy so don't over mix! muffins will be tough if over mixed.) Fold in blueberries. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Sprinkle each with about 1 tablespoon topping.
4. Bake 20-25 min or until golden brown. If baked in greased pans let stand about 5 min. then remove from pan then to a wire rack to let cool. If baked in paper cups remove immediately and place on a wire rack to cool.
Enjoy! Happy eating!
