"Recipes for good low-fat muffins are hard to find, so I was pleased to discover that these treats are moist and scrumptious," says Amanda Denton of Barre, Vermont. "I make them often for brunches or parties...and people always comment on their fresh strawberry flavor."

Tip

Big Batch Baked Goods

We enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

I put in low fat strawberry yogurt instead of plain. Makes it even tastier!

These are really good. I make mini's and put them in my kids' lunch.

I liked the strawberries & nutmeg! I used plain yogurt which made the muffins just right. The batter was thick, but baked up nicely. I had 12 regular & 4 mini muffins.

I also forgot to add that I switched out the yogurt for sour cream as I didn't have plain yogurt on hand, and whenever I buy it for a recipe, I use so little of it, and I cannot find small containers of it.

Something is slightly wrong with this recipe, as I just made it, and when you put the wet with the dry, it doesn't mix that well, because it is too dry. I added at least 1/3 cup milk to the batter. Once I had done this it mixed much better. I also baked it for 20 min. They were incredibly yummy after all that.! I would make them again.
