Mmmmmmmm, nothing better than a muffin right out of the sunoven. Warm, moist and satisfying. Did I mention how amazigly good for you these babies are? I made up my own recipe and they are low cal & low fat. Not to mention I used FREE energy from the sun to cook them. My sun oven's up to 375 degrees today and still working. I threw in some garlic heads to make a garlic paste for slathering on all sorts of my "granola crunchie" goodies.
I'm omitting oil and such from my recipes as I'm testing out the Dean Ornish philosphy of super low fat cooking, healthy heart etc. He actually promotes a heart healthy diet through Vegetarian-lowfat cooking. Check out his Everyday Cooking with Dr. Dean Ornish-150 Easy. Low-Fat High Flavor Recipes. Lots of good recipes in there. He gets NO credit for my muffins. They're my own lowfat creation.
I'm always willing to share a good thing so here's my recipe that makes 6 muffins (can't fit a 12 pan in my Sunoven):
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup egg substitute
1/4 cup plus one Tablespoon Non Fat, plain yogurt.
1/4 cup Splenda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.5 bananas mashed
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
I threw in some Craisins but you can pretty much put in whatever fruit you'd like (Ok--maybe not grapefruit!). Strawberries, blueberries etc. My disclaimer: Cooking in a sunoven ALWAYS makes everything more moist. I usually have to cook things a little longer as well. I cooked these for 25 minutes. If cooking in a conventional oven, you may want to check them around 20 minutes. Unlike the sunoven--if you overcook them they will be a little dry. And if you live in a sunny place I highly recommend getting a Sunoven. They're great when you don't want to heat up your house in the summer, not to mention the energy savings. Everything comes out moist and delicious! Enjoy!
