Rhubarb muffins

These are not out of the oven yet, but smell so good!
I found this recipe on cdkitchen.com My version is in parentheses.

1 1/2 c brown sugar (1 cup)
1 c buttermilk (1/2 c nonfat sour cream + 1/2 c 1% milk)
3 1/2 Tbsp oil (3 Tbsp applesauce + 1 T oil)
1 egg
2 1/2 c flour (1 1/4 c flour +1 1/4 c wholewheat flour)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
2 c finely diced rhubarb


Top with cinnamon and sugar before baking in a 375 oven for 15-20 minutes.

nutritional analysis:as written for 12 muffins: 287 calories, 9 grams of fat, 47 g carbs, 5 g protein

My variation for 16 muffings: calories 146, 1.6 g fat, 35 g carbs, 19 g sugars, 4 g protein


Out of the oven - they are a little tart, but still good. They are high in sugar, but I cannot justify adding more.

3/4 c whole wheat flour
1/2 c splenda
1 egg
1/8 c applesauce
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c skim milk
8 oz fat free sour cream
1 c blueberries

Mix all ingredients but blueberries. Fold in berries. Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes.

I have noticed when using paper baking cups for recipes with no oil, the muffins stick to the paper. I am wondering if a spray oil over the cups would eliminate this problem. I will try it next time.

DELCIOUS breakfat

I found a new breakfast that I love! Nothing fancy, but here is what I did:

sprayed a small saute pan. Put in about 1 C baby spinach. Wilted it. Cracked in 5 egg whites and added a dash of garlic salt. Scrambled that up. Toasted 2 roasted onion bagels. Open face on a plate, topped with eggs and maybe 2 tsp of parmesan. SO YUMMY! I found these bagels called "Alternative Bagels". They are high protein and decent carbs. I like them. They were by the cream cheese at our store.

Anyhow, the nutritional value was:

225 calories, 27.50 g protein, 30.5 g carbs, 2 g fat

Protein Pancakes

I found this recipe on a friend's blog. I am trying them tomorrow for breakfast!

PROTEIN PANCAKES
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese
1/2 cup egg whites (you could easily use powdered egg whites in this recipe)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Pinch of cinnamon

No need to grind the oats into flour. Just use a blender or food processor to combine ingredients below. (I used a Magic Bullet) Then cook batter like pancakes for 2 minutes per side. These are great served with fresh fruit and a drizzle of agave nectar (I like Xagave brand)! They taste a little bit like French toast.

Cal 280, 30.5 g protein, 32.5 g carbs, 3 g fat
I am not sure how many it makes.

Snack or Breakfast Apple Pitas

So Terra and I were just talking at the gym and she suggested subbing cottage cheese for mayonnaise in her tuna fish sandwich. That is a great idea! I love the salt of mayo and that would give you salt AND protein!

Anyhow, I got thinking about one of my kid's new favorite breakfasts. I take a whole wheat pita pocket, but 2 scoops of vanilla yogurt in and slide apple slices down in it. It is (WAS) very yummy! I was thinking that would make a great snack or even a breakfast by putting the cottage cheese in the pita instead of the yogurt. Gonna have to try it.

1/2 pita
1/2 apple, cut into wedges
1/4 C cottage cheese (? - haven't made it, maybe less?)

170 cal, 10.15 g protein, 31 g carbs, 1 g fat

Looks like I could have 2 for a breakfast!! Maybe tomorrow!

Pita pocket for breakfast

So I forgot to post my breakfast this morning:

Whole Wheat pita pocket, 4 egg whites scrambled, fat free sour cream in pita. I seasoned the eggs with a creole seasoning so it had cayenne powder, onion and garlic powder, paprika, thyme and a few other things. (It's a homemade recipe) But it was YUMMY! I also got a banana and 1/2 C fat free cottage cheese.

Total for breakfast:
32.45 g protein, 52.33 g carbs, 1.7 g fat, 350 calories.

I wasn't hungry for snack, but to keep metabolism up, I ate my yam!
