Heeheehee ... I made Slimming World recipie "Blueberry Muffins" last night. They have All Bran in them. I know, thats just wierd! Actually, the All Bran wasn't the wierdest thing about them. In fact, you wouldn't even know it was there if I hadn't told you. I think it was the blueberries that made them wierd. They were too juicy, perhaps I should squash them next time .. would that work? And I think I should have added more sweetener. And less cinnamon. I don't even like cinnamon.
...
Chocolate chunks would have helped.
...
And icing.
LOL!

Try these ones.
Technically they should be synned a lot higher because you arn't supposed to use cornmeal as flour. But they do work and taste good.
Helps if I leave the recipe doesn't it:
You might want to resyn them as I havn't been to a class in a couple of years.
Cornmeal Chocolate Muffins
Works out to about 0.6 of a sin each if you use the large muffin tins so call it a half sin each I guess. (½ a sin each on a Green day)
The cornmeal used is Dunn's River Coarse ground. Which is exactly what polenta is.
Ingredients;
1 ½ cups / 8 ounces Coarse Cornmeal/Polenta meal free on a green day only)
1 large Egg beaten
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 ½ pots of Mullerlight Toffee Yoghurt
7 – 10 tablespoons candarel/granulated sweetener
1 –2 tsp vanilla extract
3 sachets Caramel Options or Caramel/Dairy Fudge Hi Lites (6 sins)
½ oz sultanas chopped (2 sins) optional
Method;
Mix everything together well by beating with a balloon whisk for about 5 minutes. You will see the bicarb starting to react as tiny airholes appear. Spoon batter into a well oiled muffin pan ( I used fry light and a 12 deep cup muffin tin, filling 3/4 full. Bake at Gas 5/400 for 25 minutes or until risen. Don’t bake them in paper cases as they stick like crazy.
You could mix in any fruit with these but remember to count as sins.
OR Line a 6 x 9 x 1 inch swiss roll tin with non stick baking parchment.
Pour in the mixture and cook for about 40 minutes at the same oven temp as above until the middle is well and truly set. Turn out onto a cutting board and leave to cool. Cut in half widthways.
OR Bake in an 8 inch loose bottom cake tin and serve as a cake.
OR use the 4 tin yorkshire pudding tins. They make great little mock 'victoria sponges'.
OR Mix one pot of Quark cheese (free) with 1 tsp vanilla essence and 1 tbs Candarel. Beat well. Spread over one half of the cooled cake. Spread the other half with a tablespoon of warmed low sugar jam ( roughly 3 sins) and sandwich together. Heaven!
It's great to have a cake on a green day that works out to only 6 sins! (without the sultanas.) I used choc n orange options last time and added cinnamon and mixed spice. YUM! Brilliant dipped into a pot of toffee yoghurt. Or try gently warming a pot of vanilla yoghurt and eat them as a hot pudding.
Thanks! They sound yummy!
Checked the guide and although polenta is still free on Green you have to count 5 syns per 28g if using as a flour substitue ... what difference that makes I've no idea but thems the rules! That does add a whpping 40 syns to the recipe!!! Which works out to an extra 3.5 syns per muffin if you make 12 so not too bad.
Most of the Options and Hi-Lights are still 2 syns per sachet, although a couple are 2.5 and others are only 1.5 (Dark Chocolate Hi-Lights for example).
Syn Guestimate for this recipe is 4syns per muffin ... AND they are chocolatey ones which hs gotta be good.
