Low-Syn Chocolate Confetti Cupcakes (3 syns each)

Nothing says "party" like a confetti cupcake, and while these are perfect for a party there is nothing stopping you creating them for any special occasion... for example - a Tuesday night :) At just 3 syns for a decent sized cupcake, we can enjoy a few with a cuppa and still have syns left over for the day.

Weetabix Muffins (with choc shot!)

I came across this recipe on a forum and thought it was an excellent idea! A great way to liven up the ol' healthy B! I would definitely put a couple of these away with a cup of tea, either at breakfast or as a snack in the afternoon. You can count 4 as a healthy B but add a syn for each (cocoa and choc shot!)

Recipe makes 8 muffins

4 weetabix

4 eggs

2 drops of almond essence

1/2 tub of Muller light

1 teaspoon of cocoa

2 heaped teaspoons of sweetener

For the topping: 

1/2 teaspoon of Sweet Freedom Hot Choc Shot Per muffin

Sliced Bananas

Directions:

• Crush or Blend weetabix into fine crumbs
• Add the eggs, sweetener, cocoa, Muller light and almond essence to the weetabix and blend until smooth
• Divide the mixture into a cake tray
• Bake at 180 degrees for 20-25 mins.  
• Allow to cool
• Top each muffin with 1/2 teaspoon of choc shot and a slice of banana. 

This is really quite easy to put together and they are really filling too. I quite enjoyed getting back in the baking game too! You may just see more ideas coming your way soon!
