Muffins, Muffins, Muffins


I make muffins a couple of times/week. Whatever the recipe is, I take out the oil and add 5 scoops of Mila and about 1/8 cup of water. The 5 scoops will give you just under 1/2 scoop per muffin. If it is an apple muffin recipe (like Fiber One Apple Cinnamon Muffins) I shred/grate a peeled apple into the mix and add an additional 1/2 cup of applesauce. Here is a recipe for Pumpkin Mila Muffins that is awesome!!


1/2 cup butter at room temp

3/4 cup dark brown sugar

1/3 cup molasses

1 egg

1 cup cooked or canned pumpkin (about 8 oz)

1 and 3/4 cups of flour

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 and 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon

1 tsp of nutmeg

1/4 cup raisins

5 scoops of Mila

1/4 cup of water


1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, grease muffin cups or use paper liners.

2. With an electric mixer, cream the butter until soft. Add the sugar and molasses and beat until light and fluffy.

3. Add the egg, Mila, water, pumpkin and stir

4. Sift over the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Fold just enough to blend, do not overmix.

5. Fold the raisins in.

6. Spoon the batter into the cups filling them 3/4 full.

7. Bake until the tops spring back lightly when touched 12-15 minutes. Serve warm or cold.


YUM!!

I love Mila, but was scared to introduce it into my sons diet. He is 13 months old and since weaning him off breast milk he has not been the best eater. When is it safe to start giving them Mila and how much? I think a recipe like the muffins would be good for him, but he is allergic to eggs. Any suggestions?
