I am one of them, so I have been looking for easy recipes to make muffins, etc..that don't require professional skills but are still delicious and that will surely bring a lot of compliments.  If you already have yogurt and milk that are nearing their expiration dates, instead of having to throw them away, this recipe will solve this problem.

Wet ingredients:

2 eggs

1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt

1/3 cup oil

2 cups self-rising flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 cup raisins

Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of an 8” x 8” baking dish and spray the paper with vegetable oil. 

Preheat oven to 350°.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine all the wet ingredients and use a handheld beater to beat them well.

Sift the flour and baking soda into the wet mixture and use the beater on low motion to combine them well.
