You can have your muffins and lose weight too. These 4 easy, yummy recipes make it simple.

By Grace Young

Better Baking

We've rescued baked goods from diet exile by packing our delicious recipes with whole grains, fruits and healthy fats -- like extra-light olive oil -- not sugar, butter and chocolate chips. The result: more healthy fiber, antioxidants and vitamins; less artery-clogging saturated fat and cholesterol. Unlike the giant calorie bombs you find at most bakeries, these muffins won't double as flotation devices, either. All that, and they're super easy to whip up. So dig out the mixing bowl and get baking!

Pancakes!!! Use Soya milk, low sodium salt and an egg for the mix, fry in coconut oil and top with real fresh lemon juice and a little caster sugar ( a little can't hurt can it? ).

Adjust the liquid and cook as a "pancake." Great for on-the-go breakfast. Thanks for the ideas; I'll try fixing my personal favorite recipes now.

Some of us would rather eat the real sugar and exercise rather than fill our body with anything fake (think about what healthy REALLY means...)Also When flour would have made this recipe far too heavy. I of course switched the milk to skim (and could have omitted .25% -50% of the sugar) - but all around a great recipe!
