Oh Yes…A Muffin In Only 5 Minutes!

Hey everyone, Whitney here. Need a quick fix for that sweet tooth craving? I come from a family who all have a major sweet tooth. Here is a quick recipe to achieve and satisfy that sweet desire all in less than 5 minutes of preparation, without having the guilt afterward.

When I came across this recipe, I was sold when I read “5 minutes.” I was thrilled because I happened to have all of the ingredients. Surprisingly I had apple cider vinegar, but this has become a recent staple in the bathroom as a replacement for hair conditioner (that’s a story for another day).

I certainly can’t take full credit for this recipe. The recipe was originally adapted fromThe Sweet Spot. Thank you toTessa Domestic Divafor additional inspiration!

Adapting This Recipe To Your Liking

What’s wonderful about this snack is the versatility and flexibility of catering it toward separate tastes in your family. The first time I tried this recipe, I use half peanut butter and half almond butter.

I adapted the original adapted recipe by adding, you name it, tupelo honey (with a couple other additions). Although I list this in the ingredients as 2 tablespoons, I found myself purposelyover-pouringthe second tablespoon. Simply add what the amount to reach the sweetness you prefer.

I also used my homemade vanilla extract. This consisted of a mini bottle of vodka and a sliced vanilla bean, which had been hiding in my cabinet. After making it, I simply shook it every couple of days, or so for about 4 weeks before using it for the first time.

A Rant From Halle

Hey guys, Halle here! Thanks so much Whitney for putting together this great post! Once again, I want to thank my friend Tessa, over at Tessa The Domestic Diva for bringing this amazing recipe to light!

Well if you are like me, these days I like to do everything mini! I still am a strong believer that everything in moderation (with the exception of allergies or elimination diets). Moderation is key here folks!

Now am I saying go and eat candy bars, potato chips fried in canola oil, or a stadium hot dog….Oh wait…hey, if you are at a stadium enjoying the all-American game, then heck yeah…a stadium dog is a must, right?

It’s about living people and we can easily taboo certain foods and create a negative relationship with food. Remember, Live right 80% of the time and your body will compensate and take care of you the other 20% of the time that you don’t. Whoa…now that was a rant! 🙂

Let’s Make These Things Mini!

So let’s get back to these minis! Now I just love doing things as minis, especially splurges. These really aren’t a splurge, they actually are an incredibly protein rich snack that would be great to snack on…

But if you are like me, I just need a taste or a few bites of something, and that is enough to satisfy any craving I might have.

So here are my minis, and oh yes I added some chocolate because I LOVE CHOCOLATE!!

Can You Taste Them Through Your Screen Yet?

I mean really, don’t you just want to dive into these little jewels? Oh my gosh, the next time I make these, (and trust me there will be a next time) I am going to add some more chocolate!

Oh and just because…here is one more picture for you to sink your teeth in…you ready to make these things yet? Only takes 5 minutes to whip up…let’s do this, shall we?
