Hi Ladies,
Am spending a little time trying to make some of my favorites into healthier versions. Thought I would share them as I come up with some acceptable ones. I made three different things yesterday and only one came out ok.
I am trying to use soy flour and graham flour to replace some of the all purpose flour in recipes. I made blueberry muffins, a quick bread, and bread in the breadmaker. Only the blueberry muffins passed the test.
I also keep track of nutritional values per serving. I do this by jotting down the values of everything that goes in the recipe such as calories, carbs, protein, fat, fiber, and then divide by the number of servings made.
I also store the soy flour and graham flour in the fridge as they can bad quicker than white flour. and they are available at WM or other supermarkets.
So here's my Blueberry Muffins.
1 cup oatmeal (old fashioned)
1/2 cup soy flour
1/2 cup graham flour
2.5 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cups sugar
2 tbs. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup soy milk
1 cup water
2 eggs
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup blueberries(fresh or frozen)
Combine oats, flours, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix in milk, water, eggs and oil. Fold in blueberries. Filled greased muffin cups 2/3 full with batter.
Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Please keep in mind that the soy flour browns quicker so keep an eye on them so they don't get too brown. Makes 24 muffins
