Hi Everyone!
I found another great recipe, and tweaked it a bit. It is both healthy and delicious. Try it out! It was easy, and relatively fast to make! I modified the recipe from the one I found on the blog Sunday Baker. She did a pumpkin bread with a more traditional cream cheese filling. I created muffins with a healthy cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients for the muffins: Makes 12 Muffins. Pre-heat oven to 350.
1-1/2 c. pureed pumpkin
1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce
1 whole egg
3 egg whites
1 c. all-purpose flour
2/3 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. Stevia Cup For Cup sweetener or 24 packets of Stevia in the Raw
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. ground cinnamon
Ingredients for healthy cream cheese frosting:
2 heaping tablespoons of 0% Greek yogurt
2 heaping tablespoons of whipped cream cheese
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 packet of stevia in the raw
Step 1:
Start your batter. Stir all of the dry batter ingredients (both flours, stevia, baking soda, sugar, cinammon) in one bowl, and mix all of the wet ingredients in a second bowl (pumpkin, apple sauce, egg and egg whites). The wet ingredients can be mixed with an electric mixer on low to medium speed.
Step 2:
Slowly mix the dry mixture into the wet mixture.
Step 3:
Scoop the mixture into muffin pans. Bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle.
Step 4:
The muffins are delicious plain so you can eat them now or continue and make the frosting!
Step 5: Mix the Greek yogurt, whipped cream cheese, vanilla extract, and stevia in a bowl.
Step 6:
Spread the mixture on your muffins. Top with a drizzle of honey if you want to. (There is no honey on the one pictured). Try it out on one muffin to be sure you like it!
Step 7:
Enjoy!
Will be buying the ingredients Friday on our usual shopping day. Will let you know how it turns out. Yumm.
Great! I hope you enjoy them! 😀 Everyone I know who has tried them thus far has loved them.
Will try this week. Thinking about using coconut sugar in place of the granulated sugar
