Since I have time to bake again and husband was craving some carrot muffins I came up with these. They were inspired by this NYTimes recipe but I didn't like the recipe contained oil so I made my own, aka adapted from several others. (Dr. Boyfriend is doing Weight Watchers and I try to make baked goods that he can eat and not have to sacrifice many points for....)
To make this is what you need:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or soft white-wheat flour)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (or 1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar blend)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2/3 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
- 2/3 cup skim milk
- 1 1/2 cups grated carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or raisins or both!)
Muffins as made with wheat flour and Splenda blend (no raisins) are 2 points per muffin for Weight Watchers Points Plus.
congrats on finishing, buddy! hope you're enjoying all your newfound freedom before clinicals start- live it up!
