I've made these quite a few times - using whatever jam or jelly I have at the time - usually plum, which adds a nice tartness to them. Everyone raves about them - especially when I bring them, still warm, to an early morning soccer game! They always come out nice and light and tasty.
Low-Fat Strawberry-Cinnamon Muffins
These strawberry muffins are moist and tender, yet still low in fat, because of the addition of vanilla fat-free yogurt and low-fat milk. The strawberry flavor comes from strawberry jam.
