Morning Glory Muffins

So, after we started to eat heart healthy (thanks to the hubby's elevated cholesterol), I tried to find some healthier breakfast options as well. Let's face it, oatmeal every day gets kind of boring. So, I stumbled across these muffins and gave it a try.

Overall, I must say they taste good, although my husband liked them more than I did. Next time, I shouldn't make more than half since our son can't eat them because of the yogurt, but I will make them again.

Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake

When i saw this recipe I just had to try it. I used normal flour and baking powder, as we don't have gluten issues.

Here are the ingredients:
Flour the baking pan:
Hmmm...chickpeas:
Add chickpeas, eggs and vanilla extract to a food processor:
Add sugar and baking powder:
Stir and there you have it:
Melt the chocolate:
Stir it in the chickpea mixture:
And pour it into the baking pan:
Serve however you like it:
I personally did not really like it. It was too sweet for me, but my boys, old and young, LOVED it, so there you have it. I may try and use a little less sugar or maybe supstitute it with some honey instead. Also, my husband suggested that the baking powder may ahve been too old, since I complained about it being too thin. In any case, it's easy to make and loved by the majority of my household, so it's a winner:)

Non-Dairy Banana Bread

Because I needed help finding and creating recipes that do not include milk/dairy and nuts, i bought a few really good cook books to guide me along the way.
One of those is is "Sophie Safe Cooking" by Emily Hendrix. I love how simple the recipes are and already have a few favorites.
So here is my first attempt at making banana bread. I am not posting the recipe as it's not available online, so just buy the book. It'll be worth it!

The ingredients:

All mixed together and baking in the oven:

And there you go:
The bread was very yummy. I think I may have put too much baking powder in it, so it was a little firmer. My little one loved it and that's all that counts!
