Kosher Lite Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Unlike the Blueberry and oh-so-tasty Banana Chip muffins, these are Healthy with a capitol H. I still like them, but keep in mind, these are for enjoying the sensation of fullness after a hard workout, not for kids lunchboxes (unless you want them trading up for Fiery Hot Cheetos.)
  • 1 1/2 cups lite apple pie flavored yogurt
  • 1 cup lowfat milk
  • 1 cup quick cooking oats
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 large eggs (or your favourite egg substitute equivalent)
  • 1 cup diced dried apples
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup white flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 4 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Preaheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, mix yogurt, milk, oats, vanilla, and eggs. Let sit around 5 minutes (so the oats will soak up the moisture. Otherwise, you'll have tough muffins.) While waiting, take your cup of dried apples (an entire bag of the Sunmaid brand) and dice them up. Add them to the bowl and mix well. Let sit another 2 minutes (again, so the dried apples can soak up some moisture.) Add all remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix thoroughly. Either use paper liners or spritz your muffin pan with cooking spray. Fill muffin cups about 1/2 full of batter. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Makes about 32 muffins at 2 Weight Watchers points per muffin. These freeze well for a couple months.

Sounds delicious, though. If I can find the yogurt, I'll give them a try.
