When my brother called to tell me he was going to be late today, I knew just what I was going to do with my spare time: Make Veggie Girl’s Pumpkin-Banana Trail Mix Muffins (minus the trail mix)
I followed her recipe almost exactly except for the following things:
- The obvious: I didn’t use trail mix. Jeff doesn’t like nuts baked into things and I didn’t have any on hand anyway.
- 1 used 1 cup all purpose flour and 1 cup Whole Wheat flour instead of 2 cups all purpose flour
- I used organic sugar from the bulk bins at the food co-op instead of the kind Veggie Girl used
- I used a few splashes of light vanilla soy milk for my non-dairy milk
- I used a 13 ounce can of pumpkin instead of 15 ounces because that’s all I could find at the store. (13 ounces was more than enough- I had leftover batter)
After a tasting a few licks of the batter, I could tell that I’m going to love these. They’re baking in the oven as we speak!
I can’t wait to try them! Thanks Veggie Girl!
For lunch, I had another amazing WW bagel sandwich
What I used:
- 1 Thomas WW Bagel, toasted
- I slice of deli turkey
- 3 slices of tomato
- A couple slices of orange pepper
- Shredded skim mozzarella
I popped it into the toaster oven for a couple minutes and then devoured it with a side of grapes
While baking the muffins, I snacked on some of these:
with apple butter
And now my brother and his fiancee are here and the muffins are done!
Can’t wait to try them! Recaps later!!
What is your favorite thing to bake?
Have a great evening!
Wow, you’re quick!! Thank you so much for trying the recipe – hope they’re well-received
Oooh~~~ Fax one over please! Hee hee…
Fav thing to bake is tarts…because they are so easy yet so impressive!
I love to bake…almost anything. I enjoy baking so much that I was put on a “baking ingredient budget” by my fiance! My newest quest has been to healthify my creations.
Oh muffins! I’ve never baked them, they must be amazing, seem so healthy.
I like baking bread, cookies and cakes (actually sweet breads like poppy seed bread or pain d’epice..). Easy things.
I’m not sure what my favorite thing to bake is. I guess it depends on the season.
Those muffins look like they’ll be great:) Have a good weekend!
Oh those muffins look fantastic!! SP chips and apple butter? I like that combo – very autumn-ish
Wow, those muffins sound so good! I can’t wait to hear how they turned out. And I totally agree… nothing better than baking when you have a little extra time on your hands.
xxoo
