Mixed Berry Muffins

Muffins Course: main meals PointsPlus™ Value: 2 Servings: 21 Preparation Time: 15 min Cooking Time: 15 min Level of Difficulty: Easy Ingredients 1 cup(s) whole wheat flour 3/4 cup(s) Gold Medal All-Purpose Organic Flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp table salt 2 Tbsp ground flax seed meal 1/4 cup(s) Agave Nectar 1 cup(s) unsweetened frozen mixed berries 1/4 cup(s) hot water 1 medium lemon(s) 1/4 cup(s) olive oil 1 egg 1/2 cup applesauce

This version was even better than yesterday's!

Whisk dry ingredients together. Mix wet ingredients and add into dry until combined. Divvy up into two cupcake tins (21 cupcakes) and bake for about 15 minutes at 375. Lower the temp if you substitute honey for the agave nectar.

I couldn't get it to stretch to 24 muffins so I filled the three empty cups with water and they turned out delicious. If you use an ice cream scoop, it's super easy to fill the cups. My six year old, initially skeptical, was impressed.

Wednesday

This day started off great but then in the afternoon things went awry and I lost control of myself. The sad thing is I'm still hungry and could keep on eating till 10 p.m. no problem! Weigh in day tomorrow.

Activity for the day? Walking the mall w/ my friend at a leisurely pace for maybe 30-60 minutes. I claimed 2 activity points for this.

This week I'm in the hole 15 points for weekly points but earned 20 activity points.

Breakfast (5)

Coffee w/ milk & Truvia - 1

2/3 c fat free Greek yogurt w/ apple/banana/orange/flax and 1 t agave nectar - 3
