I wish I had something to share! Thank you for this, chocolate chip is my personal favorite. I'd love to hear of any other healthy, or not quite so bad for you, recipes you have.

i do have a few i could share. ill post this other one for right now and then maybe ill get all my other recipes together and post all at once.

Blueberry Muffins

(adapted from http://simpledailyrecipes.com/healthy-blueberry-muffin-recipe/)

Oven Temp:400 Baking Time:20 mins

Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 egg
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbs pure vanilla extract
dash of cinnamon
1 1/2 cups blueberries

Mix wet ingredients in a small bowl (milk, applesauce, egg, vanilla). Then mix all dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt) in a large bowl and make a hole in the center. Dump in liquid and stir until just combined. The mixture will still be a bit lumpy. Fold in the berries and then divide mixture into greased muffin cups. This recipe can also be used to make mini muffins, just reduce the time to around 10 minutes.

I really liked these muffins as a snack and for breakfast. I intentionally lowered the sugar content from the original recipe just so I could eat them for breakfast. It was nice to have something I felt like wouldnt sky rocket my blood sugar at 6 am. Ill post my others soon.

Anyone make their own granola?

I do my own mix with store bought, but would love to make my own :-)

Here's my new favorite snack courtesy of Jenni Raindance*.

Iron Balls

- 1/4 cup cocoa powder

- 1/4 cup oats

- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (or dried shredded coconut)

- 1 cup pitted and chopped dates

 

- blend first three ingredients in a blender or magic bullet then add dates and blend some more.

- roll into 1" sized balls, place on plate a freeze for a couple of hours

- after balls are set you can put them in a container and keep them in the freezer, fridge or out on the table for everyone to enjoy!

- hints

- if the mixture seems too dry and the balls will not form, add a small amount of OJ to moisten things up or you can boil down the dates a bit before blending but don't make them too runny

-I'd at least double the batch because these suckers go fast

- these are also diabetic friendly =)
