skinny muffins?? Chocolate and Cranberry

Low fat muffins? really?
Well yes - these muffins don't have as much oil as most muffin recipes.
This recipe is from the http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/  I'm going to have a go at these for the bumps and babes group.
  • 250g self-raising flour
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinammon
  • 85g light muscovado sugar
  • 85g dried cranberries
  • 25g dark chocolate , chopped
  • 125g tub low-fat yogurt
  • 125ml skimmed milk
  • 3 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 1 egg , lightly beaten
oven at 180.

Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl. Stir in the sugar and cranberries. Microwave the chocolate on Medium for 1-1½ mins, stir, then set aside.
Mix the yogurt and milk with the oil and egg. Make a well in centre of the dry mix and gently stir in the liquid. Drizzle half the chocolate over the mix, gently fold in until swirled, then repeat with the remaining chocolate. Take care not to over-mix.
Spoon the mix into the muffin cases and bake for 15-20 mins until risen and firm to the touch.
