1 tsp baking soda
1 1/3 cup cranberry sauce

1/3 cup soured milk (1/2 tb lemon j)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp grated orange rind
Instructions:
You may use commercial or home made cranberry sauce but not artifically

Lighthearted Cookbook by Anne Lindsay published in 1988 in Canada used
whole-wheat flour, and 1/2 cup buttermilk or low-fat plain yogurt rather
than sour milk.

grams fat, 2 grams protein, 27 grams carbohydrate, 23 mg cholesterol, 126
mg sodium NOTE: listed ingredients & variations would be slightly
different.
Preheat oven to 400 F and spray at least 12 muffin cups lined with paper
baking cups. Low-fat muffins tend to stick even to non-stick pans.
Measure 1/2 tbsp lemon juice in a measuring cup, fill to about 1/4 cup mark
with fluid milk and add some skim milk powder to make it a little thicker.
Set aside.
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.
Add remaining ingredients of your choice and stir until they are just
combined. Bake about 20 minutes or until lightly browned and firm to the
touch. Adjust time if muffins are made smaller.
VARIATIONS, substitute for cranberry: Banana-Date - use 1 cup mashed banana
and 1/2 cup dates or raisins. If 2 bananas are not quite 1 cup,
concentrated orange juice or orange/pineapple may be added. (Tested Jan 94
by Elizabeth Rodier, family member ate 2 warm ones.)
Apple-Raisin - 1 cup applesauce plus 1/2 cup raisins, or coarsely chop an
unpeeled apple in a food processor.
Zucchini - 1 cup grated unpeeled zucchini plus 1/2 cup raisins.
May be made as 16-18 small muffins or 9 inch square cake cut in the desired
number of pieces. For a diabetic meal plan, reduce the amount of sugar to
1/4 cup or 1 tsp. per serving (recommended guideline of American Diabetes
Assoc.)
This recipe is typical of healthy heart recipes with reduced sodium,
cholesterol and fat but more sugar than a typical diabetic recipe.
