Blueberry Yogurt Muffins

Correction!  I read through the directions I printed off and I made a mistake.  It should be 1/3 cup sugar (not 1/3 tbsp).  This actually brings the point value up to 4 points/muffin.  Sorry about that!

As most of you already know, I joined Weight Watchers two weeks ago.  I’ve been sticking to the plan and so far I’ve lost 5.5 lbs!  Mom mentioned some blueberry muffins she made and they sounded good.  I looked in my Cooking Light cookbook, which I’ve had forever but never use, and I found a Blueberry Yogurt Muffin recipe.  I switched 1/2 of the flour and used whole wheat flour instead.  This recipe when used as I have written is only 3 points, which is good because I hoard my points and hate to waste them.

I didn’t have any orange juice but I did have an orange, so I squeezed out the juice and used that.  I think that may have helped with the point value.

For our wedding we received these silicone cupcake cups that I love!

I received this convection oven for Christmas. I wasn’t sure how often I would use it but it’s been great and perfect for baking muffins!

I think I over cooked them in the convection oven, but I didn’t adjust the baking time above since I think in a regular oven they will turn out a nice golden brown.

How did they taste? They look as good as the 6 point ones I made.

They are very good, a little nutty flavor with the whole wheat flour.
