Ingredients

  • * 1 cup sugar
  • * 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • * 1 large egg
  • * 1/4 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
  • * 1 (8-ounce) carton orange fat-free yogurt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.

  2. Combine 1 cup sugar, oil, and egg in a medium bowl, and stir with a whisk until smooth. Stir in milk and yogurt. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife.

Make a well in the center of flour mixture, and add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.
