Healthy muffins

Last week, Ron had his yearly appointment with his cardiologist (he has atrial fibrillation). I went with him for this appointment, I like hearing things straight from the horse's mouth. One of the things Ron needs to work on, his weight. Both of us have been pretty lax in our diets lately (for many reasons) and it's time to get back on track. So no more sweet granola bars for breakfast, I'm making muffins. High fiber, low calorie muffins. I call them "colon blow muffins." Oh how I love classic SNL. Anyways, I started with this apple muffin recipe from KAF, but I've changed it so much, I think I can call it my own recipe. And even though I cut down the sugars by more than half, these muffins still have enough sweetness. Here we go.

Apple muffins

This past weekend was great. Not only did I get to go to Maine for the weekend without the girls (my dogs), I also got to go to the King Arthur Flour store in Vermont yesterday. I picked up a few things that I didn't end up ordering when I online shopped a few weeks ago, like a wooden pastry rolling pin, some more potato flour since I'm starting to run low, and some non-diastatic malt powder for the next time I decide to make bagels.

I decided I needed to bake something tonight. Ron, my dear husband, asked me to make bran muffins last week. My mother had given him some from one of the grocery stores and he loved it. I thought, homemade would be so much better. So I decided to make the KAF apple muffins, and modified them a little to make them more healthy.

Luckily I had made some dried apples with my plethora of apples a couple weeks ago.
