Chef Tips

• We renovated Cranberry Muffins by:
  • Using fat-free yogurt to yield a moist texture while cutting back on oil.
    
    
  • Replacing the remaining fat with reduced-calorie margarine.
    
    
  • Swapping fat-free egg substitute for whole eggs.
    
    
  • Opting for fat-free milk over whole milk.
