I made a second batch of these without the brown sugar topping on them, and liked them better.
It has been a long Birthday Weekend and I’m glad to finally be home. Birthday Weekend is when everyone goes up to the cabin to celebrate 4 birthday’s that happens all in one week in my husband’s family. There were about 13 people there and 5 dogs. And if you’re wondering how 13 people can fit into one cabin, they can’t, ’cause there’s actually 2 cabins. We had sloppy joes, corn on the cob, watermelon, ice cream birthday cake, and probably the best-damned guacamole I’ve ever had. I plan on sharing with everyone on this site soon. It was so stinking good and I couldn’t stop eating it.
Oh yes, and there were ducks too. I snapped a couple of pics of them diving into the water for dinner.
The weather was kind of drab cause it was cloudy and on Saturday night there were a few thunderstorms. Then it was really muggy and the sun finally decided to come out on Sunday. Why couldn’t it have been that way on Saturday?
My favorite type of muffin is blueberry. I like jumbo muffins with a crunchy topping. Have you ever tried blueberry muffin ice cream? Wow, is that every good. It almost reminds me of cake batter ice cream but with blueberry muffin batter in it, instead. One of these muffins is only 6 Weight Watcher points and it was very filling for breakfast. They have a cinnamon sugar topping on the top and lots of fresh blueberries in the middle. A very good low calorie muffin to keep you satisfied through the morning.

Sugar substitutes can be used instead of sugar. I am allergic to them so that is why I don’t use them.

If you want to use that then go ahead. I’m not stopping you. 🙂

Could you use Swerve instead of sugar to lower the points?
