Morning Muffins

If you're looking for a healthy way to start off your morning, look no further than these Fiber Rich Muffins. I was making a bowl of Hodgson Hill Multi Grain Oatmeal and spotted this muffin recipe on the back. I decided to whip some up so I could have a quick and healthy snack for the next few mornings.

These muffins are loaded with shredded carrots, diced apples and blueberries along with some other healthy grains and ingredients. 

I substituted applesauce for the vegetable oil and brown sugar for the white. I also added a handful of blueberries.

For a healthy muffin, packed with lots good-for-you-stuff, these are pretty tasty. They're perfect for a quick bite in the morning and are quite filling with a cup of hot coffee!

Valentine's Breakfast

My family and I enjoyed a relaxing day in for valentine's. We started the morning off by cooking a healthy breakfast together. We put on classical music and whisked up some whole wheat, honey and oat pancakes and scrambled some eggs.

My husband happened upon this Kodiak Cakes Flapjack and Waffle Mix at the grocery store. My favorite part about the healthy mix is the simple ingredient list and the fact that you only have to add water to make them.

We thought some ground cinnamon, applesauce and a splash of vanilla would be a tasty addition to the mix and it was! This Santa Cruz applesauce is really good. 

These turned out amazing! Very fluffy, moist and a really great hearty flavor. The applesauce on top was an experiment, since we weren't using butter or syrup and it was really good, honest. 

These pancakes were healthy, tasty and better than any sugar laden ones fried in butter you would get at a restaurant. The topping of applesauce and fruit was a delicious substitute for butter and syrup. We bought two boxes of pancake mix and a package of applesauce and we will be making these again very soon.
