Sarah, I really like this recipe. It is from a book called "Thin for Life" by Anne M. Fletcher.
Blueberry Yogurt Muffins
2 cups all-purpose flour 1 T. baking powder 1/2 t. salt 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries 4 egg whites, at room temperature 1 1/2 cups plain nonfat yogurt, at room temperature 1/2 cup granulated sugar plus 3 t. for sprinkling over tops 1 t. vanilla
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.( I bake them at 375) 2. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. ( I don't sift) The recipe says to add the blueberries now and stir lightly to coat, but because I use the frozen, I add them at the end. 3. Beat the egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer until they hold soft peaks. Add yogurt, 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla. Mix for 30 to 40 seconds until combined. Add liquid mixture to dry ingredients and fold together just until flour is moistened.( this is where I add my frozen blueberries, making sure not to mix to much or the batter will turn sort of purplish) Batter should not be smooth. Do not overmix. 4. In a nonstick 12-cup muffin pan, divide batter evenly between the cups Sprinkle 1/4 t. sugar evenly over each muffin. Bake for 20 minutes or until tops are golden. Remove from the tins and allow to cool.
I add some grated lemon or orange rind to these also. I have a couple more recipes for you I will post.
