Besides my food shopping obsession, I have a few other little addictions.

One is the internet. Twitter specifically; I just love it! Also now that I’m finally getting an iPhone, (I cannot even discuss it), I’ll oftimes be bonkers obsessed with Instagram and every app that I’ll more than likely neglect what it’s prefer to function as a real human being. I mean, it’s already tough enough for me to maintain with all of the new blogs I’ve been discovering online lately. My new preferred is A Beautiful Mess , a blog page about everything from beauty and style, to crafts and picture taking. You totally need to check it out!

Another favorite is definitely my friend Stephanie’s blog Frest Tart Her unbelievably gorgeous food photography, formulas, and fun writing design immediately invites you in. Stephanie also photos Andrew Zimmern’s meals for Meals & Wine Journal which makes it even more fun to follow what she’s up to! Visit and tell her hello!

Mmmmm now I’m thinking about brown butter. But wait… these muffins don’t already have any butter OR oil in them! Whatttt?!?! I know, I must clarify.

You guys know that I pretty much love everything in bread form; however, I recognize that I can’t bypass eating muffins from your bakery every morning! So, in an effort to diminish my morning hours carb urges, I set out to develop a guilt-free muffin that might be perfect for breakfast, an on-the-go snack and great for kids.

To keep the calories low, I used minimal sugar, unsweetened almond dairy, egg whites, and applesauce. I also added in 1/2 of a ripe banana to keep the muffins extra moist also to add a little bit of sweetness. You may make the recipe without the banana unless you have any readily available; they’ll still turn out great!

Imagine biting right into a warm, moist and chewy pumpkin muffin with items of sweetness from chocolate chips. And suddenly your entire day gets really amazing. Muffin magic.

And there’s another reason why you’ll love them too…

They’re only 160 calorie consumption per muffin! I know it’s shocking, but I’ve included the dietary information using the recipe below.

Omg… I know what you are thinking, and the solution is yes, we are able to totally butter these babies up!

AND BUTTER I DID SO. Hehe. I’m a bit evil. Maybe for the reason that really sweet sort of way?

Happy baking!
