There are some things I really hate, only a few, but the one that i hate the most is the daily, weekly task of cleaning, it never ends. However I found a way to make it more bearable ( it's that the right word?!) and it is give myself a treat after. So... at least I have something to look forward to. My treat this week ... muffins!!! who said girls on a diet don't have fun???
INGREDIENTS
Makes about 8 nice size muffins, and last up to 3-4 days if you can refrain yourself
- 4 large egg whites , 5 if medium
- 8 tablespoon of oat bran
- 4 tablespoon of fat free formage frais
- 3 tablespoon of powder sweetener
- 1/2 tablespoon of coffee powder
- 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon
HOW TO
Gather your ingredients and preheat your oven at 180C (or 350 F)
I always start by beating the egg whites till stiff, and what do I mean by stiff? I mean that you can put the egg whites over you head and the wont fall out, that stiff we are talking about, so take your mixer and shake it baby.
Then in a deep plate mix all the dry ingredients, be careful they tend to try to leave your plate and make a mess all over the counter.
When mixed add the cheese and remove again until it gets a stronger consistency and it well incorporated
Then it is time to add it to the stiff egg whites, that is tricky, you should incorporate all mixture but carefully and mixing it slowly with the spatula so the mixture would keep the smoothness, do it slowly it doesn't take that long.
Now it is time to prepare your tin and muffin cases, I do spray them with cooking spray but that is totally optional. This muffins do not grow much do you can fill it up to 3/4 of the case or even a little bit more.
Let it bake for about 25 min depending on your oven, mine works out about 23 min and I let then cool down a bit inside the oven for about 7 min before I take them out. I find they are delicious with milk as they are a bit dry, but it work great as afternoon and breakfast treat.
Let me know how it goes for you and
ENJOY :)
