Today, I felt like making one of the healthy muffins again. As usual, I never follow a recipe by the letter and so I improvised a bit :P

This is the final product after baking

The recipe

Ingredients	Amounts	weight (gm)/volume (ml)
Whole wheat pastry flour	~ 1 3/4 cup	~ 222 gm
Quick Oatmeal	~ 1/4 cup	~ 25 gm
buttermilk	~ 3/4 cup	~ 180 ml
Orange marmalade	~ 1 tbsp	~ 40 gm
Oil	~ 3 tsp	~ 25 gm
egg	1	large
Unsweetened Apple/Pear sauce	1 snack size pack	~113 gm
Liquid Vanilla	~ 1 tsp	~4 gm
salt	~ 1/2 tsp	~1 gm
Baking Powder	~ 2 tsp	~ 8 gm
Baking Soda	~ 0.5 tsp	~ 8 gm
Fresh Mango	~ 1 cup	~180 gm
Honey	~ 1/4 cup	~ 85 gm
Baker's Chocolate 100%	~ 6 squares	~ 40gm
Pure Collagen Peptides	~ 3 scoops	~ 30gm

The Method

1- I didn't have buttermilk, so I started by adding 1 tbsp of apple vinegar (or lemon juice) to 3/4 cup of milk, to make my own buttermilk.

2- I peeled and cut the mango to small pieces

3- I chopped the baker's chocolate, and added the dry ingredients together first

4- Then I measured and added the wet ingredients

5- I mixed all the ingredients by hand with a spatula until they are evenly incorporated, then added the mango and mixed again briefly

6- I distributed the mix into 9 paper cups and baked at 375C for about 29 min. (Check with a toothpick in the middle for doneness after 20 min).

7- Enjoy! 😁

The recipe calorie count

Final Notes

1- I couldn't wait until tomorrow, so I tried about 1/2 a muffin. It tasted yummy to me. They are not very sweet and the bitterness of the pure chocolate gives an additional contradictory flavor. They have nice aroma and can be eaten with PB, almond butter or alone.

2- Each muffin has a good amount of fiber, Iron and protein, while their calories, carb and fat amounts are pretty decent.
