Bre's Report:
I had this weekend off from racing so I got to wake up leisurely on a Sunday and got to bake! I didn’t even have to get my ride in first as the girls and I are riding late today and heading out (hopefully) post-thunderstorms! Let me start with tweaks I made to Lindsay’s recipe.
FARM FRESH PEACH SUNRISE MUFFINS- Bre's Version
• 1 large egg
• Cinnamon, ground, 1 tsp
• Ginger, ground, 1 tsp
• Vanilla Extract, 1 tsp
•
• 2 small Peaches - diced (from
• Honey, 1/2 tbsp
•
• Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal,
• Almond Breeze Almond Milk, Unsweetened Vanilla, 1/3 cup
• Truvia 1 packet
•
I used a ½ cup of amaranth flour (see below as to why)
Nutritional Stats— the stats on these will be a lot different since I didn’t use the protein powder and used more flour/flax and some more banana.
Grain free-as always and I’m sure I could feed these little treats (if there was any left to share) to my friends and they wouldn’t really know that it was gluten free. I like using amaranth in muffins- and that was how I made the choice of flour to use instead of the protein powder--- I generally use it to bake so it was nothing more to my decision than that.
Definitely can use this for workout fuel and recovery---in fact I just finished eating a couple with some peanut butter as a little snack before I head out on the bike.
The ingredients. The big change I made was the whey powder. I do live near a couple health food stores but the prices are outrageous- so I typically buy “training” food (powders, CHO drinks, gels, bars) by ordering from the USA or buying them when I’m racing over there. I could go into a bigger city and try there but that requires driving and making a trip for just one item--- not something I have time to do. I also have to prioritize “training” food, they are so expensive that I have to think about what will be the most useful for me and that is usually electrolytes (drink/gels/chews) and basic bars (usually Larabars or something else that is minimal ingredients). So I don’t have whey protein in the house for that reason- it’s down on the list of training essentials. The last time I bought a jar of it, I never really used it. I don’t make shakes or drinks ever- I can’t wrap my head around drinking my calories. I prefer to chew my food- and therefore found that I never used up the protein so I’m hesitant to buy more of it.
Like Lindsay said- using any fruit in this would be yummy and I also think I might try making them with cornmeal instead of flax meal...I like peaches and corn so why not make it into a muffin??
I’m off for a ride, fuelled by a tummy full of peachy goodness.

Awesome! Thanks Bre. I can't wait to try these muffins with cornmeal next. Those would be "country" style peach muffins. I'm diggin it!
Okay, I better act like a grown up now and do some work. Bugger!
Cheers,
