Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Serves 12 people
Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (creamer)
- 1/2 cup carrot puree
- 1/2 cup firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons margarine tub spread
- 1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
- 1 large egg white
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup low-sugar strawberry, blueberry, or grape preserves
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper baking cups.
-
In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, carrot puree, sugar and margarine with a wooden spoon until well combined. Stir in the yogurt and egg white.
-
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined, but do not overmix—there should be some lumps in the batter.
-
Divide the batter among the muffin cups and drop a spoonful of preserves on top of each.
-
Bake until the tops of the muffins are lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the muffins out onto a rack to cool.
-
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or wrap individually and freeze for up to 1 month.
