a healthy snack option everyone will enjoy :) |
these whole wheat blueberry muffins from skinny taste look ideal as the recipe uses mostly unprocessed ingredients. i am not changing our complete diet ... don't get me wrong, i still believe in chocolate, lollies, and all things salty, especially chips but i would like to make my use of these things less frequent :) the recipe is also pinned to my weight watchers recipes happy days board.
once again, the peeps volunteered to help, ben lasted five minutes before finding one of his books on the table and reading that instead. polly stuck with me and completed the healthy baking assignment.
this photo says it all really :) |
we didn't change anything in this recipe, i was too scared to as my knowledge is shamefully woeful when it comes to baking in a healthy manner. i also put the recipe into the weight watchers recipe builder and discovered each muffin is worth 4 points+, just in case anyone but me needed to know. the recipe is totally peep friendly for baking, so you can stand back and watch while they take on this task themselves .,., love recipes they can do on their own :)
the ingredients ... see, i am TRYING to be more healthy :) |
my helper folding (ok tossing is more accurate) the mix |
the ready to eat healthy whole wheat blueberry muffins .. yum! |
outcome: really good, i felt healthier eating one for afternoon tea, ok i added some low fat marg to the top of it, but old habits die hard. they were actually much nicer than i anticipated and the peeps loved them. totally adding these to my weekly baking for the peeps and i as a snack food. still not as healthy as we could go but definitely better than what we have been doing. and i imagine if i made them on a sunday and froze them and took out a couple each morning they would be perfect quick snacking during the week ... that's IF i remember to take them out of the freezer ;)
my thanks to skinny taste for this recipe. totally going back to pin some other healthy baking recipes to add to my healthy, unprocessed snack foods choices!
Those look YUMMY!!! Wishing I had one for breakfast right now. :) And you need to get Polly a chef's hat. Preferably a pink polka dotted one! :)
