Do you know the Muffin Man? I do! (and I think it's a woman)

I made some really good muffins today. They are hunger bustin', low calorie, easy breakfast (if you make it the night before), all around good food. First I want to educate you some on white flour vs. Whole Wheat. Our bodies convert food to sugar in one form or another, sugar = energy. White flour and refined sugar (granulated and brown) turn to instant usable energy almost instantly. But what if you are not using all that energy? What if you just don't get to really move enough to burn it all when it is ready to be burned? Don't worry your body will store it for you. It will be stored in easy to get to places like you bum, hips, waist, and other unsightly places.

Now how does you body use Whole Wheat? Well it converts it to sugar too. It just takes a lot longer. It is a slow burn. You are much more likely to burn off all the calories from a Whole Wheat muffin than from a mamby pamby dainty white one.

I also used honey instead of sugar which your body had to work to break down too. This is an awesome super food! They are best right out of the oven but you can nuke one up in a microwave in the morning and it is almost as tasty.

3 cups Whole Wheat flour
1 T baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 cups plain low fat yogurt (I made my own out of powdered milk cause I am cool like that)
2 large eggs
8 T melted and cooled butter (I used olive oil cause it is a good fat and I was in the mood for healthy)
I made Lemon poppy seed muffins so I added 3 T poppy seeds and
Pre-heat oven to 375. Mix all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix all wet ingredients in another bowl. Before you combine them get out your muffin pans and spray them with Pam. Now mix the wet ingredients with the dry and using an ice cream scoop fill up each of the muffin cups until they are almost full. I made 24 muffins.
I made lemon poppy seed muffins so I added 3 T poppy seeds to the dry ingredients and 1T lemon zest to the wet ingredients.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Let them cool for a few minutes then turn them out on the counter and taste one or two knowing you are getting less than 120 calories of slow burning fuel! Enjoy!
