Last Thursday morning I made a batch of healthy blueberry muffins for my church's women's small group. They turned out quite well! I started with this recipe from Eating Well, then made some changes, with the final recipe going something like this:
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup egg replacer
- 1/2 cup stevia
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk, or equivalent buttermilk powder and water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries
Then I spooned the batter into muffin cups and baked them for about 20 minutes at 400*F. When they were finished, I of course proceeded to eat a muffin straight from the oven for breakfast. Delicious.
Today my baking extravaganza continued with some banana bread. I had four nearly-black bananas looking for a home, so my path was obvious. I found this nutritious recipe on Allrecipes.com, and proceeded to turn my forlorn bananas into this:
This time around I didn't make many changes to the original recipe. I only substituted applesauce for the oil, agave for most of the honey, and egg replacers for the eggs, then added a bit of cinnamon. Once again, a glorious result. And, also once again, I enjoyed the fruits (er, breads?) of my labor for breakfast, topped with a bit of peanut butter.
I'm in the baking groove. I think I might even bake again for this Thursday's small group. But I need some new [mostly] healthy recipes to try out.
What is one of your favorite baking recipes?
