Sounds wonderful, but the carbs are twice my carb allowance for any meal, so I would need to adjust the recipe.

looks like a festive idea.  Lots of carbs so I may tweak the recipe too

Sounds good!  To the people who are going to tweak the carbs down, I'm curious to how you will do this.  I would love it if it had less carbs!

I like this recipe and am going to try it.  I haven't used buttermilk in a muffin recipe before so I am curious to see how the tartness of the buttermilk and the sweetness of the yogurt and the fruit balance out.

I love all the great creative recipes this website has to offer. This recipe fits in perfectly with Fourth of July coming up.  I can’t wait to start baking and showing off my “creative side” [wink] Kiss

Great idea for the holiday!  I use yogurt or applesauce instead of half of the oil/butter in almost everything I bake.  Marge

If you don't want to buy buttermilk for just a quarter cup, add 1/4 tsp. lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and let stand 1 minute before using.

I wonder if it's OK to use sugar-free yogurt? That would get the carb count down. I'd like to make these because they look so different and colorful; will try them using lite yogurt (aspertame-sweetened) and a powdered buttermilk product I've used successfully before in coffee cake, etc. Nice, timely recipe -- thanks!
