Monday Munchies for Muffins!

Hi TBYW Fans!  It’s Natillie again with another Monday recipe.  I don’t know a single person who does not love the taste and warm feeling a great muffin can cause. However, most muffins will leave you with an unshapely muffin top! Muffin tops are not wanted here, so I have tried and sampled several beach body loving muffins. Try the recipe below and let me know how you like it and how you made it your own.

Muffins
-10 min or less prep time
-bake at 375 for 12-17 minutes
-yields 10 regular size muffins

Ingredients:
-3 eggs (farm fresh if you have it!)
-1/2 cup cream (grass fed is you have it!)
-1 teaspoon baking powder
-3/4 cup almond meal
-1 and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
-1/2 cup sugar substitute (I used Splenda)
-3 tablespoon coconut flour
-cinnamon to taste

You can top muffins with:
-farm fresh butter
-whipped cream cheese
-fresh fruit
-yogurt

You can bake muffins with fresh or frozen fruit in them or without and change up the spices. For these muffins I added a bunch of cinnamon and a small handful or blueberries to each muffin before baking.

The Truth About Splenda Part III – The Twist!

Its time to finally complete the 3 part Splenda series that I started the day before Valentine’s day.

The Final Two Verdicts

#5.  Splenda has chlorine in it, and since chlorine is poisonous, Splenda must be poisonous.

Uh, your body has chlorine in it.  You’d be dead without it.  There are a LOT of very important things that go in your body that absolutely require chlorine!  Chlorine is in just about everything you eat every day and has been since food was invented.

They might be talking about elemental chlorine – like chlorine gas.   Chlorine gas is deadly and toxic.  You aren’t really going to get that off of a molecule of sucralose.   I’ve got to take you back to chemistry class again – sorry.

In chemistry the strongest bonds are “covalent” bonds, those are the bonds that are drawn with the straight lines between the black balls and the green balls.  That means that those two atoms are sharing a pair of electrons, so that bond will not be broken in your digestive system.

6.  Splenda is a no calorie sweetener and will not raise blood sugar or insulin levels.  (You’ll be surprised about the REAL answer to this one.)

The answer here is NO!  Actually a tablespoon of Splenda has 6 calories in it and its all carbs!  Splenda is so sweet that the amount needed to sweeten a cup of coffee could not fall out of a package – its just too small.  They have to put it into a carrier.  In this case they use maltodextrin.

It is still better than sugar.  A tablespoon of sugar has 46 calories and 800% more carbs.  But, go easy.  I know a lot of people trying to be low-carb who put mountains on their food.  A normal amount is OK, but a mountain on your yogurt or coffee is too much.  It defeats the purpose.
