1 Low Sugar Muffins Bake Today You Can Could I find a recipe for low sugar muffins? Baking is fun for me. Not only do I love baked goods, I love whipping up something yummy for my family. Most muffin mixes and recipes are loaded with sugar! I used to love the packaged muffin mixes, you know the just add this and that and mix it up kind. That is until I started to change our family to more clean eating habits. To me clean eating does not mean we can t enjoy tasty treats and desserts, it means that we do so without the added junk of boxed mixes. I have found a lot of from scratch recipes I love, but hadn t found one for muffins yet. So, one day I did some research and came up with a few recipes I pulled from and ended up with this one.

2 Low Sugar Muffins, You Can Make Today! Easy Recipes Ingredients and Simple This recipe really does not take long to whip up either. I m finished spooning the batter into the muffin pan before my oven is even finished preheating, that s how quickly you can enjoy these tasty muffins! An added bonus I ve discovered is that this recipe with chocolate chips, or even blueberries, you do not need a whole lot of sugar. So many muffin recipes use way more sugar that I want to eat in a muffin. I don t need to feel guilty over the amount of sugar I have consumed by 8am. I have made these with dark chocolate chips and but semisweet chocolate chips would be tasty too! This recipe also works for berries! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

3 Dark Chocolate Chip Muffins (recipe for low sugar muffins) Makes 12 muffins Preheat oven to 400 degrees F Bake time minutes 1 ¾ cups all purpose flour 1/3 cup of sugar 2 tsp baking powder ¼ tsp sea salt 1 beaten egg ¾ cup milk ¼ cup coconut oil, melted 1 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips or 1 cup of berries Mix Up the Goodness! 1. Grease muffin tray cups or line with paper cup liners 2. In a mixing bowl combine dry ingredients 3. In another bowl combine wet ingredients 4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients all at once and mix until moistened, don t over mix. 5. Add in chocolate chips or berries 6. Spoon batter into the muffin cups about 2/3 full 7. Bake minutes at 400 degrees until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. You can also use semi sweet chocolate chips and this works

4 well for blue berry muffins as well! Banana Muffins or Bread Next, I turned my thoughts to the family recipe for banana bread. The recipe had been used by all of us for years. Its easy and standard with a lot of butter and lots of sugar! The butter part doesn t bother me as much as eating the large amount of sugar does. So I decided to make some changes to the recipe. Honey was considered but the conversion would still require a lot of honey. I thought, why not just reduce the sugar and see if it works. I adjusted the fats too, because I was feeling daring. Banana Bread or Muffins A low sugar muffins recipe makes 12 muffins 1 1/2 cup flour 1 tsp baking soda 3/4 tsp sea salt 1/4 cup of butter softened 1/4 cup of coconut oil softened 1/2 cup of sugar 1 egg 3 bananas mashed 1/4 cup of buttermilk Mix together the dry ingredients in a small bowl.

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the banana mixture to the butter and sugar. Mix just until combined.

Easy No Rise Beer Bread I LOVE bread. Seriously. I don t even care that there is so little nutritional value to it. It is delicious, especially when it is still warm from baking.

18 Easy No Rise Beer Bread I LOVE bread. Seriously. I don t even care that there is so little nutritional value to it. It is delicious, especially when it is still warm from baking. Plus, making your own bread at home makes your house smell fantastic. You really can t beat that. Because of this, I decided that tonights venison roast desperately needed some bread to go with it. Since I had bought a 6 pack of beer so I could cook the roast in one in the crock pot, I decided that beer bread was the clear winner to go with dinner (Rhyme unintentional). I got this recipe from one of my good friends. She was the one who introduced me to the scrumptious beer bread in the first place. I had no idea what she was talking about when she asked if I would like a slice of beer bread, but I accepted and fell in love. I normally have all the ingredients on hand (well sometimes the beer is missing ) and it s so easy to whip up quickly; which I especially love, when I do not have time to wait for bread to rise twice!

19 No Rise Beer Bread Prep time: 5 minutes Bake time: minutes Preheat oven to 375 degrees

3 Tablespoons sugar 3 cups self rising flour (substitute 3 cups of all purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt) 1 bottle of beer Mix all ingredients together well in a bowl.

20 3 Tablespoons sugar 3 cups self rising flour (substitute 3 cups of all purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt) 1 bottle of beer Mix all ingredients together well in a bowl. Transfer dough to a bread pan. Bake in oven at 375 degrees for minutes or until done. I hope you all enjoy this recipe as much as we do! It s best served warm with some butter on top! In my opinion, it goes

21 well with almost any meal. If you don t use or have run out of self-rising flour here is how to substitute in regular all purpose flour. 1 cup self-rising flour = 1 cup all purpose flour plus 1 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt For a handy printable list of common kitchen substitutions look to Common Sense Homesteading s Handy Kitchen Substitution post. If I didn t have any beer in the house, I would probably try ginger ale in place of the beer. Usually, its the carbonation along with the flavor that is needed. And, if I was truly feeling the need to be adventurous, I would try the recipe using this Homemade Ginger Ale recipe I saw recently on Fresh Eggs Daily. Maybe make enough extra ginger ale to enjoy with your meal!

23 I am all about quick dinner ideas these days, but I m even more about healthy homemade meals. Often it seems the two of those do not go hand in hand. However, these venison meatballs were actually quick to put together! I m lucky to have a husband who loves to hunt so we have a freezer full of venison. If you aren t as lucky, you can substitute ground beef and it will still be a delicious recipe! We had these meatballs with homemade sweet potato fries, but they would be

24 great with spaghetti or as meatball subs, too! Baked Venison Meatballs Prep time: 15 minutes Bake time: 30 minutes Preheat oven to 350 degrees Ingredients: 1 pound ground venison 2 eggs 1 cup panko or bread crumbs 1 tsp garlic powder or 1-2 clove garlic (minced) 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning Optional: ½ cup Parmesan cheese Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, mix well. Roll ground venison mixture into approx. 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. You can roll them halfway through if you don t want the bottoms to get too flat). Yields approx meatballs. To freeze leftovers, arrange on a wax paper lined cookie sheet and place in the freezer, once they are frozen you can transfer them to a freezer bag. This can be a tasty make ahead meal to pull out of the freezer for those days when cooking just isn t going to happen. Add a green salad, crusty rolls and enjoy!

25 And from Game and Garden Duck Meatballs Peppermint Essential Oil Peppermint Essential Oil Peppermint essential oil is one of the most popular oils. With its many uses it s a great one to keep around the house. Peppermint oil is also one of the most potent and should be used with caution on children and sensitive skin, I would recommend always diluting it with fractionated coconut oil, or another carrier oil. Peppermint oil has many qualities including anti-inflammatory and expectorant. It s known for helping to clear congestion and helps some people with allergies and asthma. One common use is for settling an upset stomach. Our favorite uses: Help settle an upset stomach Help relieve motion sickness Add a drop to tea for delicious peppermint tea Add a drop to hot chocolate for a fun twist Spray along doorways to prevent spiders and insects from entering the house

26 Diffuse to help relieve congestion Apply to forehead to help relive a headache Apply to forehead or bottoms of feet to help relive a fever Refreshing mouthwash- add a drop to water and swish! Rub with a carrier oil on sore joints, layer with lemongrass oil for even more relief Of course the favorite use of peppermint essential oil may be that it repels spiders! Spiders have a unique place in the world and do a lot of good things I am sure. But I want them to live outside and not in my home! Its much better to have the house smell minty fresh and make spiders feel unwelcome, than smelling a chemical insect repellant. We love using essential oils when we can for our household and health.
