As you can see from my
most all of my posts, I love baking, fattening, gooey, sugary treats. I
should need to learn savory items and healthy items. I am called out frequently by
Donna, the most amazing life coach, ever, that I must start cooking healthy items...for the sake of my health, blah, blah, blah. And
Robin, pointed out that not every guest at our bed and breakfast will want fattening, gooey, sugary treats ALL of the time, EVERY day. Sooooooooooooooooooooo, Donna and Robin, this is for you. It's a start.
Who cooks with applesauce???? I do!!! I do!!! I'm not sure what it replaced, but I have to say...super tasty, moist and it satisfies my need for a dessert. Slap on a
Hello Kitty Edible Cake Decoration and not only is it super duper good, but so very cute.
Can't wait to try these awesome gems! Nice work Jill. They look fabulous and I bet taste fantastic. Love the direction you are moving in - oh, the possibilities are endless. You are simply amazing! Eager to have my Renovate Your Lifestyle Retreats at your B&B! Your style ROCKs my world!
ReplyDeleteDonna, it will be fun to share our dreams together.
DeleteJill, they look pretty darn moist! And not being a fan of icing, makes them even more mouth watering! What did Hub think?
ReplyDeleteHub gave them a thumbs up :-)
DeleteSo flattered you thought my advise worthwhile re: developing some treats using alternative or healthier ingredients to meet the needs of a wider range of future B&B guests ... as I mentioned, a big part of "getting away" for a day or a week includes food, and I and others seriously have to find out about menus first, then facilities second. Glad your first attempt produced such pleasing results for you; really, the more you experiment I'm certain you'll discover that if you don't tell folks they're eating healthy, they often will not know it by taste or appearance alone. The key of course is trying lots and lots of recipes to find really good ones; I plan on posting more recipes soon on my blog than I have been doing and perhaps you'll find some of them interesting too. I do agree Precious with your comment about not being sure what the applesauce replaced in this recipe; typically it is used in lieu of oils / butters + eggs but in this recipe in may really have been a flavor addition / enhancer. Regardless, glad you like those muffins!

Thanks Robin! I definitely look forward to your recipes. I see all sorts in books, but I'd prefer to have recipe that has already been done!
DeleteVery cute - Thanks for stopping by my blog - I'm so glad my muffins were an inspiration for you. Applesauce is a common technique used to lighten baked goods - the general rule is to replace 1/2 the fat in a recipe with an equal amount of applesauce. If you follow that guideline, you should be able to lighten some of your favorite full fat recipes.
ReplyDeleteTake care,

Thanks ButterYum! I think I have made more of your recipes in the past....I can't remember which ones, but have give you credit for sure....or they are on my list of ones to make :-)
DeleteSince we are on a healthy diet right now, I sure will try these. They look fabulous and anything made with applesauce is always so moist. Thanks....
ReplyDeletebj - they were very good and definitely a keeper
DeleteThese sound soooooo good. I am visiting with my daughter and her family. Tomorrow is my day to cook. This recipe is one I will make. I saw applesauce in the frige yesterday. Thanks so much for sharing.Ginger
ReplyDeleteOh! Let me know what you think!
DeleteOh yes, I am a new follower. Ginger
ReplyDeleteYea! I hope you enjoy!
DeleteI could make these for my hubby! I made a chocolate cake for my mother in law's birthday last week and couldn't eat any of it. I can't eat sugar....at all! So I miss some of the yummy desserts! Love to see some healthy versions! Thanks!
