I combined a lot of recipes and substituted a lot to use up things in my fridge, but here's my Franken-recipe:
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (lower in calories, higher in fiber!)
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt (1/2 if you want less)
1 large egg
3/4 cup sugar (I'll try even less next time, and using some honey as well)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted (might try extra light olive oil next time)
3/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup nonfat cottage cheese (the cheese and yogurt was supposed to be 1 1/4 cup sour cream, but you could any of the three)
1 1/2 cups frozen berries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Whisk the egg and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy and holds a ribbon. Add the melted butter, and then the yogurt and cheese.
Combine the dry ingredients. Drain the berries and toss the berries in the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. You should get a dry, scraggly dough. Do not overmix or you'll get hockey puck muffins.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake.
I made 19 cupcake sized muffins with this recipe.
I calculated 112 calories per muffin, which isn't as low as an equally stomach-filling apple, but way lower than a reguar muffin. My goal is to (quite easily) drop the calorie count below 100 by reducing the sugar and replacing the butter. And maybe up the protein somehow.
