I don't think I can stand the sight of another piece of candy or cake...

Ok, so it is the time of year where Valentine's Day, my birthday and my son's birthday fall.  Candy and cake everywhere I turn!  Knowing I will be asked for sweets day in and day out, and knowing I have a strong sweet tooth, I want to throw it all out...but then I would feel guilty.  I guess I will have to find a way to make it last until Easter.  In the meantime, I want to share with you one of my favorite healthy breakfast recipes the will help offset some of the junk....

I have adapted this recipe from the original found here.

Healthy Blueberry and Banana Muffins

1 1/2 cups Prairie Gold 100% White Whole Wheat Flour

1/2 cup sugar  (I am not quite ready to try cutting this out yet...)

1/4 cup oatmeal

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

2 larger bananas

1/2 cup 1% milk

1 large egg

2 tbsp vegetable oil

2 tsp fresh lemon juice (when I have it)

1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (this is what makes then sooo good!  every bite has blueberries)

First, preheat your oven to 400°F. Spray a 12 muffin pan. Combine flour, sugar, oatmeal, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl; whisk to blend.

While there are other ways to do this, I get my blender and blend bananas, milk, egg, oil, vanilla, and lemon juice. Then I pour it into the dry ingredients.  I mix just enough and then add blueberries. Finally, I put the batter in the muffin tin and bake about 20 minutes. After that, they go onto a cooling rack...I don't wait for them to cool.  Instead I throw the health factor out the window by cutting a few open and adding a dab of butter.  My son LOVES these, and my daughter is coming around. (She doesn't like much of anything except candy and cake, so that is saying a lot!)

So what are some of your favorite foods to offset the times you are on sugar overload?
