By: rlp002 - 2008-09-06 Yum - I made these muffins and they were fantastic! I Would definately recommend them.
I substituted 1/2 cup of oil (4069kJ, 110g fat) for 1/2 cup apple puree (350kJ, 0g fat). This saves thousands of kJ and a hundred grams of fat and can be done in most recipes. Plus counts towards a serving of fruit. I also found that Nestle brand Diet Vanilla yoghurt is lowest in kJ and tastes sweet.
