1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup currants or raisins
1 cup (8oz) low-fat lemon yogurt

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Combine baking mix, cinnamon, and allspice in large bowl; make a well in the center. In small bowl, combine yogurt, honey, eggs, butter, and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just to moisten. Stir in currants/raisins. Spoon batter into oiled or paper lined muffin cups. Bake 15-20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center of muffin comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove to wire rack. Pipe glaze onto muffins to form crosses. Serve warm or at room temperature.
