Protein Chocolate Chip & Blueberry Bagels

These are soooooo good! My kids ask me to make these ALL the time. Esp my picky eater, she loves them!! Def can add whatever you want to them, or as toppings. I love mine with either plain or strawberry cream cheese. Yum! I know what I am making this week! No judging, our microwave broke and we decided to order new appliances, these were just old and needed to go, had them for 8 years. I LOVE our new appliances! Funny story content: I was making mini corndogs and the stupid muffins would not stop crumbling! I was pissed and kinda sorta hit the pan on the side of our counter until it dented! oops. My son, the one speaking, loves throwing that in my face. 😀 You Will Need: 2 Cups Flour 1 tsp Salt 2 tsp Baking Powder 1 tsp Cinnamon 1 Cup Greek Whole Milk Vanilla Yogurt 2 tbsp Honey Chocolate Chips/Blueberries (I used frozen wild ones, thawed) Melted Butter, brushed on top before cooking. Cook 400 degrees for 10-15 mins or until golden brown.

Apple muffins is a new recipe I am trying. I have to say I have adapted the recipe to perfection. The issue is the recipe creator is WAY off on how long these cook for. Because there is apples in there, it makes the muffins dense creating air pockets, releasing juices, which in turn takes longer to cook. The website (linked below) says 350 for 20-24 minutes. These took almost 40 minutes to cook at 350 degrees. Also, there is no rising agent in these muffins. Baking soda does not rise a lot you need baking powder. So, I added that in and upped the cinnamon amount. I do wonder if shredding the apple, like you would zucchini, would make it less dense and cook better. I will try that next time. To be a good baker or cook, you need to learn how to change a recipe, fix a recipe if its wrong. Not just keep going when it clearly is not working time and time again. That recipe below is exactly that. I think you need to shred the apples for the perfect muffin and then cut back to 2 cups not 3 cups.
You Will Need:
2 Cups Sugar
2 Eggs
1 Cup Oil (or melted butter would be better)
1 tbsp Vanilla
3 Cups Flour
3 Cups Diced Apples
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
Brown Sugar, for topping
