CATEGORY: Lower Fat

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 25 min.

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • BATTER:
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine the sugar, coffee granules and cinnamon; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; mix well. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to butter mixture alternately with yogurt, beating just until combined.
