I'm trying this recipe for this week - the last recipe was 5 points per muffin. This one is only 2 points!

POINTS® Value: 2
Servings: 12

	1 item(s) egg, slightly beaten
	1 cup(s) Bran Buds All-Bran, substitute for Fiber One original bran cereal

	1/2 tsp table salt
	1/2 cup(s) dried apricot halves, chopped
	1 tsp vanilla extract
	12 oz plain fat-free yogurt
	1/4 cup(s) Apple Sauce, substitute for vegetable oil

1. Heat oven to 400F. Place paper baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups, or spray muffin cup . Place cereal in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and crush with rolling pin or meat mallet (or crush in food processor).
2.In medium bowl, stir together egg, oil (apple sauce) and yogurt. Add cereal, flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Gently stir in fruit. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
3.Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from pan.

Habanerno Chili & Green Chili Turkey Sausage Corn Chowder

This is still simmering on the stove so I'm going to assume that with the sausage added to the recipe a serving will be about 1-1/2 cups = 4 servings ---I'll let you know how it really turns out.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

	6 cup(s) water
	4 serving(s) Bruce Aidells Habanero & Green Chili Smoked Chicken & Turkey Sausage, 1 link = 1 serving, chopped into bite size pieces
	5 serving(s) Hearthland Foods Corn Chowder Mix, 5 servings = 1 bag mix

Instructions

Brown sausage, add water - pour mix into pot, rapidly whisk to mix. Bring to boil. Reduce heat & simmer uncovered. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Reading in twenty minutes.
