Power-packed muffins are full of good-for-you grains and fruits. For breakfast on the go or a mealtime accompaniment, they’re a sunup-to-sundown treat!



Makes: 12 muffins

1 1/4 cups Yoplait® Fat Free plain yogurt (from 2-lb container)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil (or unsweetened applesauce(less cals & healthier)
2 egg whites
1 1/4 cups Gold Medal® whole wheat flour
3/4 cup oat bran
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped dried fruit
1/2 cup cooked whole-grain triticale or brown rice


1. Heat oven to 400°F. Grease bottoms only of 12 medium muffin cups, 2 1/2x1 1/4 inches, or line with paper baking cups.

2. Beat yogurt, brown sugar, oil and egg whites in large bowl with spoon. Stir in remaining ingredients except dried fruit and triticale just until flour is moistened. Fold in dried fruit and triticale.

3. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (cups will be very full). Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from pan.


Special Touch
Sprinkle each muffin with about 1 teaspoon brown sugar before baking, or dip tops of baked muffins in melted butter and sprinkle with granulated or brown sugar.

These look wonderful! I love making homemade muffins. I wonder if there is any thing that can be used in place of vegetable oil? I don't use it all and never have any of it on hand, but the other ingredients are staples! (Wonder if applesauce would do the trick?)

Yep, you can definitely use unsweetened applesauce.
