Are they really Healthy? They contain Sugar!
Ah spotted that did you? Ok, Yes they do contain Sugar, but only a small amount when Comparable to other Sugar laden Muffin recipes. And when Distributed over 12 muffins-even less, I suppose it depends on how many you eat! I believe a little sugar is necessary in my baking, even the healthy bakes, ill tell you why. Sugar does much more than please the palate!
A little Science
Sugar has a wonderful capacity to boost Serotonin, the ‘Happy Chemical’. Serotonin is a Neuro-transmitter in the brain that regulates mood, Social Behaviour, Memory and Appetite.
When used moderately, a little sugar adds not only to the flavour, but delivers that ‘feel good’ emotion too. Unfortunately, its only temporary…at least until your next muffin!
