Yet another muffin that was custom made for a diet conscious couple. This is not a gluten free one, but uses only oil n egg whites in place of butter n whole eggs reducing the fat content to a large extent. Also the usage of Raspberry flavored yogurt gives the Muffin a fruity natural flavor.
I have not used Raspberries in the recipe as fresh ones r not readily available. You could always add up to 1/3 cup of fresh Raspberries to the batter n up the flavour. Try any variation with this batter using Ur favourite berries( Blueberries do equally taste good) n lemme know what u think.
So let’s get baking..👇
