Good Housekeeping took the ultimate breakfast muffin and made it healthier by reducing the calories and fat. With a tweak here and there each lightened-up muffin has 75 fewer calories, 5.5 grams less fat, and half the cholesterol of the original!

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats, uncooked
1/3 cup nonfat (skim) milk
2/3 cup applesauce, unsweetened
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup light (mild) molasses
2 tablespoon canola oil
1 large egg
3 medium carrots, shredded (1.5 cups)
1/2 cup prunes, chopped

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease 12 standard muffin-pan cups or line cups with fluted paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; stir in oats. In medium bowl, with fork, mix milk, applesauce, brown sugar, molasses, oil, and egg until blended; stir in carrots and prunes. Add applesauce mixture to flour mixture; stir just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy).
3. Spoon batter into prepared muffin-pan cups. (Muffin cups will be full.) Bake 23 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean. Immediately remove muffins from pan. Serve warm, or cool on wire rack to serve later.
