Brownie Bran Muffins:
Hiiiii, mkay, so a couple things: FIRST these ARE delicious. 10/10 on tasty but p good for you scale. Second, they are not as low calorie as you think. A box of Betty Crocker low fat brownie mix has about 2340 calories in it. (I used one that wasn’t low fat and had 2240 calories in it and I’m using it in all my calculations. They’re very similar TBH). 3 cups of allbran cereal has 480 calories in it. SO if you add those together and then make 18 muffins, each muffin is about 150 calories. Not 28. If you are calculating weight watchers points, these have changed drastically over the years! AND There are calculators online. WHOOP! MAGIC! No need to rely on your “mystery source,” MATH does the trick! These are 7 points each, not 2 points each. This makes sense considering the old point system considers, for instance, 1 2 oz. egg 2 points and the new system counts about half a chicken breast as 2 points while a glass of whole milk is considered 7 points. The calculation is based on calories, saturated fats, sugars and proteins. For the full recipe: 2720 calories, 308 g sugar, 32 g saturated fats, and 28 g protein. Put it all together and what do ya got!? 126 points for the full batch! That’s 7 points for 1/18th of the batch! So, overall a good recipe and a healthier alternative to real brownies, but don’t go ahead and think you can eat 5 of these and be in the green zone for your calorie/points goal for the day. Also, probably rely on the hard calorie count and nutritional CONTENT of food rather than weight watches because all together it seems like it’s easy to be misled.
