Title: Low-Calorie Blueberry Muffins
Categories: Bread Lowcal
Yield: 1 Muffins

3/4	c	All-purpose flour
3/4	c	Whole-wheat flour
1/4	c	Granulated sugar
2	ts	Baking powder
1/4	ts	Salt
1	lg	Egg
1/2	c	Skim milk
2	tb	Unsalted butter or margarine melted
1	c	Blueberries
1/4	ts	Freshly grated lemon peel

Heat oven to 375F. Grease muffin cups--or to eliminate even the few calories from greasing, use foil or paper baking cups.

Thoroughly mix flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

Beat egg with a fork or whisk in a small bowl. Whisk in milk and butter. Pour over dry ingredients. Add berries and lemon peel. Fold in with a rubber spatula just until dry ingredients are moistened.

Scoop batter into muffin cups. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans.

Try making these muffins with finely chopped peaches, plums or raspberries. Small blueberries work best.
