Disgustingly Healthy, But Tasty, Muffins

You're probably asking yourself, "What the !@#$ happened to this guy!?!" This site used to be full of ribs, steaks, and other porky goodness!

Trust me. These are good, too. We're trying to eat a bit healthier, and maybe, just maybe, I'll lose a few pounds in the process. A low-carb, Paleo-type diet seems to work best for me, but these are doing a nice job of serving double duty to fill the snack/dessert void in my daily meals. Only 2T of oil, and 1/2C of brown sugar for a dozen muffins, with some applesauce to make up the moisture and sweetness. I'm using whole wheat flour, rolled oats, and some milled flaxseed in the dry mix- still carby, but more low glycemic than a typical muffin.

They really are good. Between these, the bread I've been making, and some homemade granola, I'm doing more baking these days than I've done in years. Saves money, healthier, and WAY better than store bought stuff.

I'll be posting more meat stuff soon. Promise!

they look good too! where are the ribs?

After this weekends fry fest, this is what I need to have.

Chile- you'll get used to the shame of healthy stuff, it'll only take 3 or 4 years, I'm guessing. Maybe you could change your site to Meat Bran Genius!

Michael- Haven't been making a lot of ribs- Julie's not a rib eater, but I do cook up some of the Western cut singles every so often. Lots of flavor in those babies, if you do 'em right.
