LOW FAT POPPY SEED MUFFINS (WW)



Low Fat Poppy Seed Muffins (Ww) image

These are good, just not as moist as I was hoping for. The next time I make them, I'm going to try cutting the sugar back to 1/2 cup and using a 1/4 cup of unsweetened apple in place of the 2 Tbls. of butter to see if they would be moister that way. 1 muffin = 3 points as written. With the changes mentioned above, 1 muffin = 2 points.

Tips:

  • For a stronger lemon flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be sure to mix the dry and wet ingredients separately before combining them. This will help to ensure that the muffins are light and fluffy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will help to prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that they bake evenly.
  • Use a toothpick to check if the muffins are done. Insert the toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
