WW muffins

Got this recipe from Pat!


Weight Watcher Muffins

(2 points each)

Mix together:

1 & 1/4 cup skim milk

1 & 1/4 cup wheat bran

1/2 cup regular brown sugar

(do not use substitute)

Mix first three ingredients and set aside for 15 minutes

add:

1 & 1/2 cup wheat flour

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 tablespoon baking powder

mix well then add:

8 oz. crushed pineapple in its own juice (do not drain)

2 egg whites

1/2 cup chopped nuts

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 cup dried cranberries

Mix well, fill muffin tins to the top (this does not rise much) . Bake at 350 degrees for 16-20 minutes. 12 muffins 

equal 2 points (old point conversion) each. One recipe should yield a dozen muffins if you don't use jumbo muffin pans!

*I leave out the cranberries,  raisins, and slightly increase the raisins. I also add about 1/2 cut shredded carrot, to increase the fiber, but not the calories.

Making and then freezing these makes a great quick breakfast or snack. They do not keep well for long unless frozen because of the moisture content.
