Chocolate Raspberry Mini Muffins

Chocolate Raspberry Mini Muffins

by Pam on October 3, 2013

I bookmarked this recipe I saw on Uni Homemaker[1] a few months ago because they looked so delicious and fun. My kids were having friends over after school today so I decided to surprise them by making these cute & tasty little muffins. The combination of tart raspberries, the sweet muffins, and decadent chocolate was fantastic. Needless to say, these muffins were a HUGE hit with all of the kids and they gave them two thumbs up.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Line baking cups in the muffin pan.

Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.

In a bowl whisk together egg, yogurt, half and half, canola oil, and vanilla until well blended.  Slowly pour the flour mixture into the egg mixture and stir until combined.  Fold in the mini
chocolate chips.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups then gently press a raspberry into the top of each muffins.  Then sprinkle a few more mini chocolate chips on top.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tester/toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the muffin pan before transferring them to the cooling rack. Serve and enjoy.

Apple Slice ?Donuts?

Apple Slice “Donuts”

by Pam on October 7, 2014

My kids have never loved apple slices so much. I surprised them today with this fun and tasty after school snack. I loved that they were eating fruit and they loved that they were “frosted” with peanut butter and topped with either sprinkles or mini chocolate chips. The apple slice “donuts” disappeared quickly and put huge smiles on my kids’ faces.

Slice the apples crosswise. Use a small knife or the end of a pastry tip to cut out a circle in the center of each slice. Pat the slices with a paper towel (so the peanut butter will spread easily) then spread some peanut but on top. Sprinkle the top with mini chocolate chips or sprinkles. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

Healthy Cookies

A healthy cookie made with just three ingredients! Mashed ripe bananas, oatmeal and walnuts. OMG, these really ARE healthy!

Cookie’s for breakfast, cookies for lunch, cookies, cookies coooookies.

I’m really so excited about these cookies, can’t you tell? Thank you, thank you to the person who emailed me this recipe[1]. It was actually a recipe for a two ingredient cookie, but walnuts and bananas really do it for me, think banana bread.. in a cookie.

The cookies are best right out of the oven, they are chewy and soft – just how I like my cookies.

I’m anxiously awaiting my next batch of bananas to get super ripe so I can make them again. This time, I’m going to add almonds and see how they turn out. Next time, maybe raisins? chocolate chips? Cinnamon, pumpkin spice, vanilla… can’t wait!

Egg free, dairy free, gluten free (use gf oats), vegetarian, vegan, kid friendly… what else can I say??

Be sure your bananas are super ripe. I’ve only tested them with quick oats, so I’m not sure how they work with rolled oats. My gut tells me stick with the quick oats.

If you’re on Weight Watchers; each cookie is 1 points plus. Quick breakfast to go; 5 cookies and a piece of fruit = 5 point plus! Leave the nuts out, they are still 1 point each. Replace the nuts with mini chocolate chips… still 1 point. Make these today!
