Bake yourself happy

Saturday was my day off and with the boys away, mum and I were left with the house to ourselves. Both feeling pretty blue, I suggested nothing more than a 'bake yourself happy' day... Now, I do love to bake - but I always find myself slightly terrified by the amount of sugar and fat that goes into even the most basic of treats. And although the feeling of creating something scrumpious and mouth watering gives a head high, soon comes the guilt of consuming most of the batch within a couple of days. Back to square one. Therefore, sifting through recipes I decided to swap some simple ingredients with slightly more healthier options and have still found success, that of the guilt free variety! First bake of the day were some breakfast blueberry muffins I like to call 'Morning Blues.' Quite simply '(b)eat the morning blues.' Just swapping plain flour for wheatgerm flour cuts the calories by almost half, as does choosing skimmed milk and low fat spread as opposed to full fat butter. I was soon craving chocolate and decided to make some white chocolate brownies. This time changing the sugar to light brown sugar made these delights that little bit more appealing for the body conscious! A good day I think! Note to self... clean up as I go along, rather than have to face a kitchen post bake that looks like its been attacked by flour bombs!
