PUMPKIN WALNUT MUFFINS



PUMPKIN WALNUT MUFFINS

INGREDIENTS

***as always, my tweaks are noted LOL***

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour (I used all white whole wheat flour)

1/4 cup oat bran (I used wheat bran)

1/2 cup packed brown sugar (i used stevia in the raw-no calories)

1 1/4 tsp cinnamon or pumpkin-pie spice*

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup canned pumpkin

6 ounces Chobani 0% Greek yogurt (i used oikos)

1/4 cup agave

1/2 cup egg substitute

1/4 cup canola oil (I used olive oil)

1/2 cup roasted walnuts, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375°. Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.

2. Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine your dry ingredients, flour through salt in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk.

3. Combine pumpkin and the next 4 ingredients (through oil) in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Fold in walnuts. Spoon batter into muffin cups until 2/3’s full. I use my ice cream scooper to ensure all my muffins are the same size.

4. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or until muffins spring back when touched lightly in center. Cool muffins in pans 5 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pans. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Challenges

Prob one of the toughest part of Restoration Wellness program the past two weeks has been time management for meal Prep. So this week my goal is to focus on that. More meal Prep and less coming home so late bc football in Buffalo or bc of being at rehearsal for my shows and having to still make a whole dinner and then eating late. It’s messing w me making sure I’m done eating 3 hours before bed. So even though I have had a hard time w this, I’m still losing weight and doing great on the plan. But it’s important to fine tune things and be 100%!!! Work in progress over here. Meal prepped this morning for lunch and dinner 💪🏽

CousCous Lasagna

I've had this recipe hanging around since I was doing WW Core last year, and never got around to making it. Keith and Mairi both adore couscous, and we are trying to be more meatless, so tonight was the night. It was delish! I'm back on JC so I just had a couple try it bites, but for such a simple recipe, it blended together fabulously! It would taste good with some chicken in it too though :D CousCous Lasagna 1C couscous 1 1/2C boiling broth 1/2t salt 1T EVOO lg diced onion 3 garlic cloves minced 28oz can diced tomatoes, drained (reserve 1/3C of the juice) 1t dried basil 5C finely chopped spinach pepper 1C mozz. cheese Combine couscous and broth let stand 5 minutes preheat oven to 375 saute onion and garlic in EVOO add tomatoes, cook 10m stir mix into couscous add reserved juice, basil, pepper and spinach mix til combined spread half in a 9x13 pan sprinkle mozz top with more couscous cover and bake 30m
