Fruity Multigrain Muffins

I love beginning the day with a good hearty muffin. The best muffins are the ones you make yourself and come out of the oven warm and moist. I love putting a dab of butter on there so it melts right away. This recipe gives you a healthy muffin that you can have for breakfast or just on its own as a snack. It is packed with fruit and sweetness all around. Give this a try! You won't be disappointed.



INGREDIENTS

1 1/4 cups plain fat-free yogurt
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 egg whites
1 1/4 cups 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

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Grease bottoms only of 12 regular-size muffin cups with shortening or place paper baking cup in each muffin cup.

2. In large bowl, beat yogurt, brown sugar, oil and egg whites with spoon. Stir in remaining ingredients except dried fruit and triticale just until flour is moistened. Fold in dried fruit and triticale. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (cups will be very full).

3. Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from pan.
