Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins
When it comes to desserts, you can never go wrong with muffins. These healthy Valentine’s Day dessert muffins will keep you energized all day long. Unlike traditional muffins, the recipe calls for whole-wheat flour to minimize the guilt.
Ingredients
- 1 cup wheat bran
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup small red grapes
- ¼ teaspoon moringa
- 10 teaspoons unsweetened creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 cup seedless jam
Directions
- Place ten paper liners in a 12-hole muffin tray, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the wheat bran, flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, moringa and salt in a medium bowl.
- In another bowl, combine applesauce, buttermilk, coconut oil, and egg. Then, whisk in the flour mixture. Once combined, add in the grapes.
- Distribute half the batter in the muffin cups with liners. Next, add one teaspoon of peanut butter on top of each, followed by the remaining batter.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. After five minutes, remove the muffins from the pan and place them on a wire rack to cool.
- Combine the jam and one tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Cover the muffins with the jam mixture just before serving.
Tiramisu
If you want to indulge this Valentine’s Day, this healthier version of the classic Italian dessert is an excellent option. And it is super easy to make! We have used yogurt and oat flour instead of high-calorie ingredients like egg yolks and mascarpone to create a dessert that is light yet indulgent and delectable. It is so delicious that you and your loved ones will be addicted to this Valentine’s Day dessert in no time.
Ingredients
- 60 grams of oat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ cup milk
- 3 tablespoons strong black coffee
- 80 grams thick yogurt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
Directions
- Prepare a loaf pan with baking parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a small mixing dish, combine the milk, oat flour, baking powder, and maple syrup. Pour the mixture into the loaf pan. Bake for ten minutes.
- Combine your yogurt and protein powder to form a smooth mixture.
- Once it is baked, cover it with coffee and let it sit for approximately a minute to absorb. Then, remove the cake from the tin carefully.
- To serve, divide the loaf in half. Top one part with half of the yogurt, and sprinkle with cocoa powder. Add the second piece and repeat the yogurt and cocoa procedure.
