I really like making everything from scratch, especially when it comes to dinners. However, I am not always a "from scratch" kind of gal when it comes to baked goods.
My daughter is two and loves helping with everything. I occasionally buy Better Crocker's Wild Blueberry muffins and we bake them together. She pours in the blueberries, stirs, etc...
The other day I was reading the Betty Crocker recipe box and learned that on the side of the box there are directions for making low-fat, no cholesterol muffins. Add skim milk instead of regular, add apple sauce instead of oil, add egg substitute instead of regular eggs. One muffin is 140 calories (15 calories come from fat).
Are these probably the most healthy muffins (boxed baking good) for someone? Probably not, especially with the white flour. However, if you have a craving for something yummy and fast to bake, you can feel good about the fact that you at least made them healthier!
