Morning Glory Muffins

Since beginning Weight Watchers I have missed baking so yesterday I gave the Weight Watcher Morning Glory Muffins a try and I am glad I did.  They were easy to make and tasted delicious.  Each muffin is 3 points but they are filling muffins and it makes 18 muffins.

Ingredients:


1 cup(s) raisins
2/3 cup(s) hot water, boiling
1 3/4 cup(s) white all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cup(s) rolled oats, old-fashioned
1/4 cup(s) sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp table salt
2 large egg(s)
1 cup(s) buttermilk, low-fat
3/4 cup(s) packed brown sugar
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray an 18-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray. In a small bowl, combine the raisins and boiling water.

In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, oats, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a large bowl whisk the eggs until frothy; whisk in the buttermilk, brown sugar, and butter. Stir in the raisins and their soaking liquid. Add the flour mixture and stir to just blend (do not overmix).

Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake until a tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20–22 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool on wire racks.
