This morning the kids wanted blueberry muffins for breakfast. Instead of eating 3 smothered in butter, I stopped at 1 with no butter!:bigsmile:

Thanks to each of you. As a single dad, it sure is tough to balance a meal without packaged processed food. I am working on finding a balance.:bigsmile:

You can add some oat flour or whole wheat flour to increase the fiber and nutrition and keep you feeling full longer. Don't use the pre-packaged mixes. You can control the amount of oil, salt, and sugar if you create your own recipe from scratch.

Sorry I don't have one for you but you could go to recipezaar.com.

Thank you for the recipe, cmriverside! I will have to try to pick up the ingredients and make them some day. I am a recently divorced single dad (half time) and baking from the mix is the most I have ever done.:blushing:
