These muffins boast more nutrition than a high-calorie snack bar. Pack two muffins in your lunchbox, and share your heart-healthy treat with a friend.

Yield Serves 12; 1 muffin per serving

Number Of Ingredients 11

Cooking spray (if not using paper bake cups)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour

1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup egg substitute or 1 large egg
1 tablespoon canola or corn oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray or line with paper bake cups. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flours, oat bran, raisins, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, egg substitute, and oil. Pour into the flour mixture, stirring until the batter is just moistened but no flour is visible. Don't overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into each muffin cup.
