Low Fat Prize Winning Lemon Blueberry Muffins

2 cup Unsifted all-purpose flour
2/3 cup Sugar
1 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Salt
Pinch of ground cloves (optional)
2 cup Fresh or frozen blueberries
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine
1 8-ounce container plain low-fat yogurt
1 lg Egg
2 tsp Grated lemon rind
1 tsp Lemon extract
1 tsp Vanilla extract

Heat oven to 375-F. Grease twelve 3-inch muffin-pan cups. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; add cloves, if desired. Add blueberries and toss to coat with flour mixture; set aside.

In medium-size microwave-safe howl, microwave butter on medium (50 percent), 10 to 15 seconds, or until melted. Cool slightly, then add yogurt, egg, lemon rind, and lemon and vanilla extracts; beat until blended.

Stir yogurt mixture into flour-berry mixture just until blended and dry ingredients are moistened- do not overmix. Divide batter among muffin-pan cups. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until muffins spring back when gently pressed with fingertip. Cool in pan on wire rack 5 minutes. Remove muffins from cups and serve warm.

Makes 12 3-inch muffins
