HOWDY friends! I hope that this
beautiful Lord’s Day finds each of you well and happy. I got my morning off to a GREAT start by
trying out this delicious new recipe I found on one of my favorite blog sites…Manila Spoon. Abby has
LOTS of great recipes, so if you haven’t checked out her site…DO IT NOW!! You’ll be so glad you did!
I knew when I saw this one, that it HAD to be good, and boy was that an
understatement! These yummy muffins are
so good, they’re sure to become one of your favorites.
Ooooh
Sooooo Gooooood Raspberry Chocolate Chip Muffins!!
Ingredients
6
Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup regular oats (not quick-cooking)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp salt (the original recipe used 1/2 tsp.)
1/2 cup egg substitute (or 2 large eggs)
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup fresh raspberries (I think fresh are best, but frozen would
certainly work too)
1 cup miniature chocolate chips (you can use less if you want…I
think I’ll try white chocolate chips next time)
1-2 Tbsp. white or brown sugar (I like to use a coarse sugar-- like
Turbinado sugar -- for this part – my favorite is Sugar in the Raw)
Directions:
Preheat
the oven to 375F. Spray muffin tins with
non-stick cooking spray.
Melt
the butter with the Whey Low Gold (or brown sugar) in a small sauce pan over low
heat.
Combine
the flours, oats, salt, baking soda and baking powder in a large bowl.
Whisk
the egg substitute with the Greek yogurt until combined. Add the vanilla. Mix well.
Whisk
the brown sugar-butter mixture into the yogurt mixture.
Pour
in the flour mixture, and stir with a wooden spoon, until just
incorporated. Fold in raspberries and
chocolate chips.
Scoop
batter into muffin cups (using a large cookie scoop or an ice cream
scoop). Sprinkle generously with the turbinado
sugar.
Bake
in the preheated oven for about 25-28 minutes or until a tester comes out
clean.
Cool
in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
You
can probably guess that I DID NOT wait for these to cool before
taste-testing…the smell while they were baking was AMAZING! I can honestly say that these are delicious
hot or cold…with no added butter or anything when served.
Run...don't walk...to your kitchen and make these NOW! And don't forget to stop by Manila Spoon and say hi to Abby!
Enjoy
this beautiful day that the Lord has made my friends!
Blessings,
--Faithy
