Pulp Muffins

I want to share an awesome recipe for you juicers out there! Pulp Muffins! I have been juicing a lot more lately and when I am done juicing, I end up with soooooo much pulp …

I feel like I’m wasting food when I just throw it in the trash. I did some research of what others do with their pulp and I came across baking it into breads and muffins. What a great idea! Especially when you have some picky eaters (like Monte) he is getting some veggies, in what he calls “cake” and has no idea! 🙂

I came across this recipe and I had everything on hand, but did change it up a bit. Here are the ingredients I used …

Ingredients

  1. 1 large banana
  2. 2 cups Juicer pulp
  3. 4 Tbsp Honey (I estimated, probably used a bit more)
  4. 1/2 cup applesauce
  5. 1/2 cup maple syrup
  6. 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  7. 6 eggs
  8. 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  9. 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  10. 2/3 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans)
  11. 2 tsp baking powder
  12. 2 tsp baking soda
  13. 1 tsp nutmeg
  14. 2 tsp cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Combine all ingredients in mixer and mix!
  3. Spoon into muffin tins that are pre-sprayed. Fill them half way full.
  4. Bake about 17 minutes. Each oven varies!
  5. Let cool before removing from pan.

These are super tasty with a bit of peanut butter on them. Monte loved them! I also took about half and froze them. This recipe yields about 24 regular size muffins. If you do not think you will eat them all right away, make sure to freeze them and pull them out as needed!

What do you do with your leftover juice pulp?

 

 

 

Birthday Festivities

Friday was my 26th birthday! Of course, it was not just a day celebration … it lasted all weekend long! Here are some photos highlighting my birthday festivities! Thanks to everyone who helped me celebrate!

When I got to work, the clinic was all decorated with a “Happy Birthday” banner and confetti everywhere. All my co-workers signed this colorful poster for me!

They got Scratch cupcakes for me! Have you every hear of Scratch Cupcakes?! They have awesome, unique cupcakes. You HAVE to try them sometime! They are to die for!!

I had a Harvest cupcake. It was very fallish!

Saturday morning I went over to my dad’s house to watch the Nebraska game! I enjoyed some yummy bloody mary’s and a great win by the Huskers! Go Big Red!!

Elvis’s birthday was Sunday, so we celebrated his birthday also! He enjoyed watching the Nebraska game also, all dressed up in his jersey.

Afterwards, friends and family came over for a cook out and fire pit. It ended up being an okay day after all the storms we had, but it was a bit chilly.

Monte also enjoyed all the festivities! Elvis and all the guests kept him busy!

Elvis and I BOTH had a cake! His was specially ordered and made just for dogs. Travis surprised me by making my cake. It was a pumpkin cake with homemade chocolate and candy corn on top. It was delish.

Of course, there were lots of drinks! Including HOT apple cider with chopped apples from Wills Family Orchard and assorted pumpkin beers and ciders.

Last, but not definitely NOT least, we opened presents! My gift from Elvis was wrapped in paper with pictures of him all over it! I was surprised when it was handed to me. My dad did an awesome job thinking of that idea!

Underneath that cute wrapping paper was a Hurom Juicer! I am so excited to start using this!! Everyone keep their eyes open for some yummy juicing concoctions!

It was a great birthday weekend and I enjoyed every minute of it 🙂
