This is a Weight Watchers recipe that a friend passed along to me. I decided to try it after she raved about it at a recent lunch. These muffins with homemade strawberry sauce are amazing and healthy!
I was stunned on how good the strawberry sauce was…..I could have just eaten it alone. The best part is it’s strawberry season in the Ozarks…look for strawberries to be ripe for the picking soon, although I’ve seen two markets already have them for sale.
Try it out for yourself and let me know what you think!
Lemon Yogurt Muffins with Fresh Strawberry Sauce
from Weight Watchers
2 spray(s) cooking spray
2 cup(s) strawberries, finely chopped, divided
2 Tbsp strawberry jam
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp cornstarch
2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp table salt
2 large egg(s)
8 oz Yoplait Original 99% Fat Free Lemon Yogurt, or similar product
1/3 cup(s) sugar
1/4 cup(s) canola oil
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp lemon zest, or more to taste
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 12-hole muffin pan with cooking spray.
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup strawberries with next 4 ingredients; set over medium-low heat. Cook until boiling, whisking constantly, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 cup strawberries; set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, lightly whisk eggs; whisk in remaining ingredients until smooth.
Make a well in center of dry ingredients and spoon in egg mixture; gently fold to combine.
Fill each muffin hole 3/4s full with batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean, about 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from oven and serve each muffin with 1 heaping tablespoon strawberry sauce on top.
