Guest guest Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I think you may be over thinking this. I would not count the ounces that of milk that is in the muffin or the small amount of yogurt. I would just count it as one added carb for phase 2. -Beth -- Original Message ----- To: <South-Beach-Diet-Getting-It-Right > Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2004 6:04 PM Subject: muffins? So I assume with this recipe we would eat ONE. Am I doing this right...we count the milk towards our 2 cup max/day. We count the calories in the Splenda. We count the yogurt to our 4 oz day/max (included in the 2 cup dairy right?). And then if we put fruit and/or nuts in, we count those. Am I missing anything? Is this as hard as it seems? I mean, I'm getting the basics I guess, but actually counting here, dividing by 12, keeping track of it all...a lot of work, yes?!?!?!? Kris One Muffin Recipe.7 Different Ways Makes: 1 dozen Basic Muffin Recipe .. 2 Cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour .. ½ Cup Granulated Splenda .. 2 teaspoons Baking powder .. 1 teaspoon Baking Soda .. 1 Cup (8 ounces) Vanilla Low-Fat Yogurt or Soy Yogurt .. ¼ Cup Low-Fat Milk, Rice Milk or Soymilk .. 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a mixing bowl and stir together. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the remaining ingredients. Stir together until well blended, but don't over beat. The batter should be medium-thick. If it seems too stiff or dry, add a small amount of additional milk. Stir in the additional ingredient or ingredients of your choice (see below), then divide the batter among 12 oiled or foil-lined muffin tins. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean. Let cool until just warm to touch, then transfer muffins to a plate. I would store these in the refrigerator so they don't get moldy from the moist fruit. Muffin Variations: 1.Cinnamon Walnut Muffins: Add 1 cup finely chopped nuts, plus ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. 2.Blueberry Muffins: Add 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, plus ½ teaspoon nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. 3.Strawberry Muffins: Add 1 cup of very sweet chopped fresh strawberries, or the equivalent of drained, frozen strawberries. 4.Apple Muffins: Add 1 cup of finely chopped apple, and if you like ¼ cup of chopped nuts and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. 5.Chocolate Chip Muffins: Add ¾ cup of semisweet chocolate chips or mini chips, plus 1 teaspoon cinnamon. 6.Cheddar Muffins: Use plain yogurt instead of vanilla yogurt and only 2 Tablespoons of granulated Splenda. Add 2/3 cups of cheddar cheese. 7. Banana Muffins: Add 1 cup of chopped banana. Or..Combine ½ cup chopped banana with ½ cup of semisweet chocolate mini-chips. I made one basic muffin recipe tonight and then divided it up by three and made 4 Blueberry, 4 strawberry and 4 chocolate chip muffins. So far I tried the Blueberry and it was delicious! So I had to share. I think you can safely freeze these too, I don't see why not. Hope you enjoy them. - Liz Reminder: The South Beach Diet is not low-carb. Nor is it low-fat.
