Guilt-Free (well, less guilt) Whole Wheat Muffins
I’m all about taste, so most of my dessert recipes use the good stuff i.e. sugar, oil, white flour, all that is evil in today’s world. Hey, there is a time and a place for everything -no one really wants whole wheat- low fat- sugar free birthday cake after all. But obviously you can’t eat birthday cake everyday, even the mad hatter would agree. So I like to make healthier options to satisfy the sweet tooth and not have to feel guilty about it. I have a line up of muffins that I like to make and keep my freezer stocked with. The kids love taking a muffin to school and I like that they are still eating right.
This year I used a couple of my favorite muffin recipes to create the concept for this Brunch N Much Mishloach Manot arrangement. I wasn’t reinventing the wheel or anything, just offering a low guilt sweet option to treat your loved ones in Israel.
I am not one to be secretive about my recipes- I’m always happy to share with the world. So, here are some yummy recipes for you to try. And feel free to pass it on!
