Healthy snacking.
It isn't always easy or delicious.
We're really digging this muffin recipe via Joy the Baker. Here's my take on it!
Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper cases or spray with nonstick cooking spray. I simple greased and floured a muffin pan, saving the paper.
In a large bowl combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In a medium bowl combine applesauce, buttermilk, sugar, oil and egg. Make a well in dry ingredients and add applesauce mixture. Stir until just moist. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full.
I've made this recipe a few times and they're really yummy. The first couple times I made it my only sub was the almond milk. I was so surprised at how moist they are with no white flour. Win! The last time I made them I added the other two subs, evaporated cane juice (which is new to our household) and flax. I kind of just wung it but they came out good again so I thought I'd share! They're not super sweet, but we love them.
I'm new to healthier sugar substitutes, and I know they still need to be used in moderation. If anyone has anything to share about evaporated cane juice or other natural sweeteners please do! I'd love to know more.
