Muffins and a wake up call

We are off to the park this afternoon and I figured muffins might be a nice addition to our trip. I asked my husband if he wanted blueberry and raspberry or just blueberry. His reply was “just blueberry, with chocolate chips and no blueberries” (cheeky!)

So I split the batter and made some blueberry and some choc chips. I made mini ones because a full muffin is often too filling.

I used this raspberry and blueberry muffin recipe with the addition cup of flour, extra egg and 1/4 cup less sugar suggested in the comments. The final product is nice and moist but not dense, just like a muffin should be.

I’m not sure if the choc chip ones will last until this afternoon as my husband seemed very pleased with them.

In other news, my baking mojo has been interrupted recently with my doctor’s bombshell announcement that I had to go get tested for insulin resistance. I’ve been recenly diagnosed with another condition and the two are often linked. At 27 it really scared me and was one of those moments that you realise your not invincible – especially when I found out a few family members have it. I’m not overweight, have never smoked, don’t drink, eat reasonably healthy and exercise but there is still a lot of room for improvement. So after finding time to do the 2 hour test at the blood collection center and waiting impatiently for the results, I’m not insulin resistant at the moment (phew) but I still will be taking a lot more thought with my eating and excercise.
