Muffin recipe

Most of you know I list muffins in my food journal. The recipe I had been using was 165 calories. I found a different recipe in a Weight Watchers recipe book I had that is 91-96 calories each depending on the version you make. here is the recipe for the plain ones.

Just PLain Muffins
makes 12
1 and 3/4 cups flour
4 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup fat free milk
1 egg
4 teaspoons unsalted butter..melted

Pre-heat oven to 400 F. Spray 12 muffin tins with cooking spray.
Mix dry ingrediants first and then add wet to make a batter. Spoon evenly into muffin tins. Bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in middle of muffin comes out clean.

Now for my changes! LOL! I use part whole wheat and part Spelt flour. You could use oat flour or any other you want to experiment with. I also use honey instead of sugar and Canola oil instead of butter.
The book says the basic recipe is 91 calories each.
Fo chocolate muffins...
Use 1 and 1/2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and 3 Tablespoons of sugar. Also add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to mix.
