This is my favorite, but I am partial to bran muffins. These come out super moist and are only about 150 calories a piece (not that you will be giving her a full muffin). I add raisins to mine, but they are just as good without.

Any Muffin Recipe





1 1/2 cups flour


1/2 cup sugar


2 teaspoons baking powder


1/2 teaspoon salt


1 cup milk (or other liquid, such as drained pineapple juice, orange juice, etc...)


1/4 cup oil (or oil substitute)


1 egg


1 1/2 cups fruit, additions (or vegetable, such as 1 cup mashed banana and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts)


spices, of your choice








Heat oven to 400.


Grease 12 muffin cups, or 24 mini muffin cups.


Combine dry ingredients, including dry additions (like nuts, chocolate chips, etc -- ) and spices.


Combine wet ingredients, including wet additions (like banana, berries, pineapple, etc -- ).


Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full (perfectly ok if you have leftover batter to fill cups to top.).


Bake for 18-20 minutes.





NOTES:.


To make non-sweet muffins, such as bacon and cheddar, just cut back on the sugar to 1 tablespoon. You can make your own ';jiffy'; corn muffins by substituting 1/2 cup corn meal for 1/2 cup of the flour, and using 2 tablespoons of sugar. Substitute peanut butter for the oil to give your muffins a peanutty taste (I make my muffins by using 2 mashed bananas, 1/2 cup chopped peanuts and then peanut butter for the oil.).


If your additions are very wet (such as crushed pineapple) then use up to 1/2 cup more flour, to equal up to 2 cups total flour.


Play around with this! It's easy and quick
