Whole wheat Banana~Strawberry muffins


I made some delicious, healthy muffins yesterday. Thought that I would share them with you! 


Whole Wheat Banana Strawberry muffins

2 eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 bananas, mashed
2 cups whole wheat flower
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup frozen sliced strawberries

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease 12 large muffin cups or line with paper liners.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, oil, brown sugar, vanilla and bananas. Combine the flower, baking soda and cinnamon; Stir into the banana mixture until moistened. Stir in the strawberries until evenly distributed. Spoon batter into muffins cups until completely filled.

3. Bake for 20 min in the preheated oven, or until the tops of the muffins spring back when pressed lightly. Cool before removing from the muffin tins. 

Note~ instead of vegetable oil I use coconut oil, it is much more healthy for you and your body actually benefits from eating it instead of causing damage! and instead of 3/4 cup of brown sugar I use 1/2 cup. If you really want to go further then you can also omit the oil all together and use more applesauce also omit the sugar and let the apple sauce be the natural sweetener. Good for diabetics! 

June~ 13th




Today is our "date day" since this is the first REAL day that I get to spend with mike since he has been gone. We went to check out a new camp ground out by Sea Side. It was real pretty but not much to do so probably wont camp there. It would make a good day use hiking/ picnic place though. It did have lots of trails. Anyhow~ It was a fun little adventure. 
We then headed out to Seaside for the remainder of the day, we walked around, shopped and got ice cream. Then went home to watch a movie and eat nachos! It was a good day:)
