Microwave Muffin – Biggest Loser recap
2011
I saw this recipe on another girl’s blog and I wrote her site down wrong – so I can’t give proper credit. 
. All I know is that she comments on my twin sister’s blog – so if you posted this recipe recently – please speak up 
Basically, all you have to do, is mix some ingredients together in a plastic tupperware container and microwave for 3 minutes! That’s it. Out came this nice and moist muffin!
I altered the ingredients to what I had on hand
Serves 1
1/2 container yogurt (I used Aldi fit and active)
2 egg whites – or you can use 1/2 cup egg substitute
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 tablespoons Ovaltine powder
pinch of sea salt
pinch of cinnamon
Combine together in a microwave safe bowl or Tupperware container. I used a Tupperware container since I was going to bring it to work. I have a 1200 watt microwave oven and I cooked it for 3 minutes. It started to puff up really big, so I would stop the microwave to make sure it wasn’t cooking over the container.
I topped this with sliced strawberries, a banana, and 1 cup of blueberries. By the time I got to work, the blueberry juice had soaked into the muffin, it was AMAZING!
For the muffin it’s 217 calories.

Now onto the Biggest Loser. I love the episodes where the contestants go back home and see their families for the first time. The reaction is so awesome when the contestants walk through the door. As soon as one of their family members starts to cry, I start to lose it!
If you don’t know on tonight’s episode, two contestants would be above the yellow line, and two of the contestants who fall below the yellow line will have to wait to see who America picks to find out if they are in the final three.
The weigh in started and Irene lost 3 pounds, so in 5 months she lost an amazing 112 pounds! Jay lost 4 pounds and in 5 months has lost 158 pounds, Hannah and Olivia lost 4 pounds which was enough to get them into the finale. I thought it was interesting how when Olivia was on the scale, her sister Hannah said by looking at her you would never know she was overweight. She was true, seeing Hannah, or Irene and Olivia walking down the street, you would never guess all three of them used to weigh 100+ pounds more than they do today.
Next week is the finale and while I originally thought Irene would win if she were in the top three, even if she does get voted back in I am switching my vote to Olivia.
Who do you want to win?

I love easy microwave treats, especially when I feel like having a treat but don’t want to bake a bunch!

How funny! I’ve been eating muffins very similar to this from SmoothieGirlEatsToo (http://smoothiegirleatstoo.blogspot.com/2010/11/moist-low-calorie-microwave-protein.html) So tasty and filling! And I top it with fruit as well.

Olivia or Hannah. Either one would make me jump up with joy!
I would say the microwave muffin came from Lori at Finding Radiance or Marissa, Loser for Life. They each have versions they do.

I think muffin is from Deb @ SmoothieGirl (link above) – I like them too!

Sadly for the sisters, I THINK that either Jay or Irene would win. Jay still has a lot to lose so if he WORKS for it, he could do it. I think that Irene will get voted in though. Love the sisters but my votes for Irene!
Love the muffin, simple and nummy.

Girl power this seaon, you have to love it. My vote goes to Olivia.
Once we lost Courtney, I was all about Olivia – I HOPE she wins. No matter what, I can NOT wait to see Courtney at the finale
I also am a fan of the protein cakes, mine is a combo of several out there but I was 1st inspired by Janetha of Meals and Moves (http://mealsandmoves.wordpress.com/)
It was me!! Ah, ha, ha…just kidding! I’ve never made a microwave muffin in my life – but I want to!!! Have a great day Jenn.

I’ve seen recipes for microwave cupcakes, but never microwave muffins. Sounds like fun!
