Muffin Tops

May 19, 2011 By Vanessa Rae Romero

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

I've got a great blueberry muffin recipe I want you to try. Go to your cupboard and get out the following ingredients:

  • Enriched Flour Bleached (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid)
  • Sugar
  • Blueberries Canned In Light Syrup (Blueberries, Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup)
  • Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and/or Cottonseed Oil
  • Modified Corn Starch
  • Vital Wheat Gluten
  • Baking Soda
  • Sodium Aluminum Phosphate
  • Salt
  • Propylene Glycol
  • Monoesters of Fatty Acids
  • Mono and Diglycerides
  • Corn Starch
  • Maltodextrin
  • Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate
  • Citric Acid
  • Cellulose Gum
  • Xanthan Gum
  • Artificial Flavor
  • Modified Cream

WHAT???? You don't have those ingredients on hand?

If you have boxed blueberry muffin mix, you do.

Sometimes, I crack myself up.

You want to know what else cracks me up?

This… “Betty Crocker Premium Muffin mixes help make your breakfast more special by using quality ingredients.”

What is quality about that ingredient list? This is a processed food to the nth degree!

Friends, do not eat this or feed this to your children! There's a reason why little girls have muffin tops by the time they are in middle school and it is no laughing matter.

If you want to make blueberry muffins that are gluten-free and low-carb, give this recipe a try. It won't spike your blood sugar or expand your waistline.

Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1c. Almond Flour
  • 1/2 c. Golden Flaxseed Meal
  • 1 tsp. Aluminum-Free Baking Powder
  • 1/8 tsp. Celtic Sea Salt
  • 1/2 c. Organic Frozen Wild Blueberries
  • 2 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter, Ghee or Coconut Oil
  • 1 tsp. Lemon Extract or 6 drops Lemon Essential Oil
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 c. Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 2 Organic Eggs
  • 1/4 c. Granulated Sweetener (for sugar-free I recommend Erythritol or Xylitol)

Directions

In a bowl, sift together the almond flour, flax meal, baking powder, salt, and sweetener. In another bowl, melt butter and stir in almond milk, vanilla extract and lemon extract. Add liquid as well as eggs to the dry ingredients and mix. Fold in blueberries. Fill 6 paper-lined muffin cups with the batter. Bake at 350º 25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a rack.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

AND JUST LIKE THAT...our little buddy is seven!!! He loves the great outdoors; fishing, swimming, and four-wheeling are his favorite things. He wakes up happy and goes to bed happy. He is super sweet and gives the best hugs. He is humming, singing, or whistling at all times. He makes us all smile and spreads joy wherever he goes. Happy birthday Asher, you are oh so loved!!! 💜

Since the very beginning of our time with Young Living Essential Oils, I have asked God what I did to deserve the success we’ve had. He has blessed and enriched our lives with so so so many special people that I deeply care about. We are excited when new members say yes and super sad when members move along. Yesterday, we had a fun gathering in our home, for the first time in a long time. I cried. I’m crying now. This isn’t my YL “business”. These are PEOPLE that God placed in our path to love, support, serve, encourage, and educate. I’ve been doing this for 7 1/2 years and plan to do it for at least 7 1/2 more!!! 💜🤍🖤

I bought this petunia planter for myself on Mother’s Day. I have deadheaded and watered her daily. Sometimes twice a day. In return she has brought me so much JOY!!! And when that joy runs out, I have 16 more flowering planters to tend to. 💜💜💜 #addictedtoflowers
