The wonderful world of Weetabix Muffins!

Who doesn't love Weetabix? With warm milk or cold... With a handful of choc chips or covered in syrup or honey... With fruit piled on...

Since starting slimming world I had to abandon the choc chips and syrup because I knew I wouldn't stick to my Syns! My favourite became cold milk, strawberries or banana - or both! - and a drizzle of honey for 1 syn. I used my Healthy Extra B Option for my 2 Weetabix.

Then the lovely Anne Moore shared a recipe for Weetabix muffins and it was like a whole new world! 

This recipe takes 5 mins to prepare and 20-25 mins to cook and is so worth it. You'll be amazed at how you can transform those dull little blocks into something so tasty and syn free!!!

You will need:

2 Weetabix (HEB)
2 eggs, beaten
1 tbsp sweetener
Half a pot of muller light yoghurt - the syn free flavours.
A selection of fruit. 

**Please Note: You can use the synned varieties, just be sure to count the syn value in your recipe to help protect your weightloss!**

Method:

Beat the eggs well for. Minute or two. Crumble in the weetabix, add the sweetener and the half pot of yoghurt. (Set aside the remaining for serving with the fruit later.)

Combine all ingredients well! It will look a little unappetising but stick with it! 

Spoon the mixture into a silicone muffin tray. The mix should be enough to make 4-5 muffins.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees/GM 4 for 20-25 minutes.

Serve warm with a generous helping of chopped fruit drizzled with the remaining yoghurt.


2-3 muffins with fruit is a great breakfast and the remaining muffins make a great accompaniment for a nice cup of tea or coffee!

Excellent for snacking hot or cold and totally Syn Free if you use your Weetabix as a your Healthy Extra B!

Want to use Syns?!

Why not add:

Choc chips
Honey
A spoonful of Nutella
Peanut butter
Sultanas
Blueberries
Raspberries
Banana
Apple and cinammon...

Please check your syn values!

Enjoy these tasty treats - double your mixture for a bigger batch but remember they are only syn free when using the Weetabix as your healthy extra!
