Healthy Apple Raisin Muffins

Adapted from the "How To Book of Healthy Cooking"

*I previewed this recipe and my entire family loves it! It is a great, easy breakfast item that would be great not only for your family, but also for a MOPS meeting if you sign up for "sweets" or "breads" :) 



Makes: 12 muffins
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

Cooking spray
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 c. whole wheat flour
3 Tbs. rolled oats
4 Tbs. brown sugar
1 Tbs. honey
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
pinch of salt
1 c. plain nonfat yogurt
2 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 large apple peeled, cored and diced
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 c. raisins

1. Preheat oven to 400. Lightly grease muffin tin with cooking spray (I used leftover cupcake papers!).

2. In a large bowl, mix the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, 2 Tbs. rolled oats, 2 Tbs. brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

3. In a small bowl, beat together the yogurt, egg whites and vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and beat quickly until just mixed. In a small bowl, mix 1 Tbs. brown sugar with the apple, cinnamon and raisins, then quickly fold into the batter.

4. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle with the remaining oats and brown sugar.

5. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and dry.
