    List of Ingredients




    Strawberry- and Cream-Cheese-Filled Muffins

    Low calorie . Low fat
    1/4 cup (2 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese at room temperature
    2 tablespoons strawberry preserves (may use other flavors)
    21/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1/3 cup sugar
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    2 teaspoons poppy seeds
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    11/4 cups low-fat buttermilk
    3 tablespoons vegetable oil
    2 large egg whites
    1 large egg
    Cooking spray

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 375 F.

    Combine the cream cheese and preserves; stir with a whisk.

    Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine
    flour and the next 5 ingredients (flour through salt) in a medium bowl; make
    a well in center of mixture. Combine buttermilk, oil, egg whites and egg;
    stir well with a whisk. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.

    Spoon the batter into 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray, filling each
    one-third full. Top each with about 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture; divide
    the remaining batter evenly over the cream cheese mixture. Bake for 25
    minutes or until muffins spring back when touched lightly in center. Remove
    the muffins from pans immediately, and place on a wire rack. Makes 1 dozen.

    Note: The muffins can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container
    overnight or in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag in the freezer. Just thaw
    at room temperature and eat.
