1/4 cup Unsalted margarine
1 cup Buttermilk

Preparation

1 This recipe has only 3 tablespoons of sugar! From Reader's Digest, Great Recipes for Good Health - 2 For variety, fill muffins with a small piece of cheese, a prune, or 1/2 tsp chopped raisins instead of the jam. 3 Preheat oven to 375 F. Using one large or two small muffin pans, lightly coat 12 2 1/2-inch cups with non-stick cooking spray or use paper liners and no spray. 4 In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. 5 Melt margarine in small saucepan over moderate heat. Combine in a small bowl with buttermilk, then beat in the egg with a fork. Add the mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring only enough to moisten. 6 Spoon half the batter evenly into the muffin cups. With the back of a spoon, make a shallow indentation in the batter in each muffin cup, then spoon 1 tsp jam into each one. Top with the remaining batter, spreading to cover the filling. 7 Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. 8 Makes 12 muffins. 149 calories, 5 g fat. Only 12 calories added sugar.
