clean lemony-orange-cranberry muffins

Posted on Mar 29, 2011 in clean eating* | 5 comments

I have a ton of citrus in my house at the moment – orange and lemons galore so I wanted to use them to make something. Adapting this clean eating lemon muffins from The Gracious Pantry I make some lemony orange cranberry muffins. They turned out great but a little sweet for my taste. For someone who loves candy I am not big on sweet baked goods – I think next time I will reduce the honey. Also because I made mini muffins I think I will add more cranberries next time so there is more in each muffin. Ingredients1 cup whole wheat flour1 cup all purpose flour2 tsp. baking soda1 egg1/2 cup honey1/4 cup olive oil3/4 cup non-fat milk 4 tsp. lemon...

Ingredients 1 cup wheat bran 2 tsp baking powder 3 tsp cinnamon sprinkle of pumpkin spice sprinkle of nutmeg 2 tbsp ground golden flaxseed 1 tbsp chia seeds 1 ½ cups Kashi® Golden Goodness®** Cereal 1 cup preferred milk – I used fat free 1 whole egg and...

perfect saturday :) muffins included

So we had a really great Saturday so far, I slept in (which for me is anything past 7) and went to Flow Yoga at 9:15. This was the first class I was able to make it to all week so I was really glad about that. Then when I got home we decided to go hiking at a new mountain which I’ve been to before but the fatkid hadn’t. It was 75 degrees and beautiful out! We worked up quite an appetite so we had some of the chicken tacos I posted about yesterday and I decided to try my second batches of both Mini Kashi** Banana Muffins and ”Clean” Zucchini Bread. I was out of agave nectar so for both recipes I just used honey but I also made some changes (for...
