Dannon Muffins

When Cory was home for winter break, he went shopping with me and mentioned something about Twinkies. Then we forgot to even look at the Twinkies.  The next day I remembered this recipe I copied down years ago.

I had written at the bottom that they taste 'just like Twinkies without the creme filling - get cream!'  So I figured it was worth a try and made a batch.

Dannon Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1-1/2 cups flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2/3 cup Dannon plain yogurt
• 2/3 cup milk

Directions:

1. Combine dry ingredients.
2. Gently stir in yogurt and milk, blending just until dry ingredients are moistened.
3. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full.
4. Bake at 400° for 18 minutes or until well-browned.

Makes 12

It's been a very, very long time since I had a Twinkie, so I can't really judge.  Cory said they're not exactly like Twinkies, but they're close, and they're good.  I'm still not sure about the creme filling, but we did put a little whipped cream in the middle right before we ate them, and they tasted pretty good.

I think I need to check out The Dannon Kitchen to see what else they have for me to try.  I wonder if this recipe is even available there, considering I copied off a yogurt container or lid - before I used the Internet to find recipes, in addition to copying them off packages and cutting them out of newspapers and magazines.
