Total Calories: 120

Ingredients

1/3 cup seedless raisin
1 tablespoon firmly packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
4 tablespoons stick margarine
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a small bowl, combine the raisins, brown sugar, and cinnamon and stir to blend. Set aside.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Cut in the margarine with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

4. In another small bowl, whisk the egg until frothy. Add the vanilla and yogurt and whisk together until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.

5. Add the egg and yogurt mixture to the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture leaves the sides of the bowl. Continue stirring 1 more minute the dough will be sticky. Add the raisin mixture and stir until the raisins are spread throughout the dough, about 1 minute.

6. Coat your hands with nonstick cooking spray and place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Form the dough into an 8-inch circle, about 3/4 inch to 1 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 12 equal wedges separate the wedges slightly, about 1/4 inch apart.

7. To make the topping, combine the sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over the dough.

8. Bake until browned, 15-20 minutes. Serve warm.
