I'm always on the hunt for healthy, no-guilt treat recipes that are easy to whip up, as I am by NO means a baker. Tonight, I was paroozing pinterest, while standing hungrily in my kitchen post-workout, & found my inspiration for this recipe.
{recipe found here, but my recipe includes adaptations}
My Ingredients:
1.5 C Whole Wheat Flour
2 Tablespoons + 2 Teaspoons of Truvia
1.2 C Unsweetened Applesauce
"Palm-ful" of Fresh Blueberries
1 Large Egg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 C Fresh Spinach
2 Tablespoons of Coconut Oil
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
Dash of Salt
[[I also ended up using a splash of unsweetened almond milk]]
Directions:
1. Turn on your favorite iTunes station or the latest episode of The Bachelorette.
... THEN, Pre-heat oven to 350° F :)
2. Combine Truvia, Egg, Applesauce, Vanilla Extract, Oil & Spinach in a blender or food processor and give it a whirl! Pour blended spinach liquid into a large mixing bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder & salt.
4. Mix the wet & dry ingredients together with a spatula- the duo will form a thick dough.
**To loosen mine up a bit, so I could fold in my blueberries, I added a splash of unsweetened almond milk.
5. Fold in said blueberries
6. Spoon dough into a greased muffin tin & place in over for 15-18 minutes.
7. Eat a muffin IMMEDIATELY after baking (just kidding, watch out for burning your mouth!). Then, portion the rest of the muffins into baggies so you can freeze or refrigerate the perfect amount.
**This recipe makes about 9-10 large muffins**
If your sweet tooth is super cray-cray & you need to take these bad boys to the next level, try drizzling a small amount of honey or agave while hot!
Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think.
Bon Appetit
