Entenmann's Little Bites Muffins, Blueberry ( 100 cals)

Any one tried those? if so, please post your review. Thanks.

This isn't what you're looking for, but seeing as the full-cal little brownie bites pack only have 3 small pieces, I wouldn't count on getting much out of the 100 calorie pack.

As a side note, I think anything made by Entemmans is the absolute worst thing anyone can ever put in their bodies.

I know you are right. I just thought this could be a good option. Anyway, I am trying to find some sweets that are diet friendly....

do you have any ideas?

I think instead of eating "diet" stuff, which will probably leave you unsatisfied, you should eat the real deal (store baked muffin or something) once every week or two. It'll make it much more enjoyable.

You can also try out making healthier things at home. I made some awesome pineapple bread this morning, with no fat, very little sugar, whole wheat and oatmeal flour, and no weird chemicals.

finchcat: that is great. do you have a bread machine? how did you make them? I really want to learn.

"Diet" foods.. are unhealthy.. I say avoid all Cakes.

Oh Cmon....it could of been alot worse.......You could of had a Big Mac or a Triple Whopper

=P

I did try these when I first joined CC, however, trust me you will want to eat something healthy. . .they really aren't that good!! I know snack on a teaspoon of peanut butter whenever I feel peckish. . . 

Big waste of money! I bought the Entenmann's 100 calorie blueberry muffins to see what they are like. You get two tiny muffins for your 100 calories, whereas in a normal package there are 3 muffins for 150 calories. And they aren't that good. I bought the box over a month ago and still haven't finished them. If you must have something like that, I would recommend the Hostess 100 calorie cakes... you get three little cakes, they are quite filling and they even have fiber (I think 5 grams or so). Certainly there are much better options for indulgence, but they aren't too bad if you are looking for built-in portion control. At $4 a box they are not cheap, however.

I tried the Entemann's Chocolate Chip Squares and they were gross!  Tasted like splenda or nutrasweet - nasty.  Very tiny too.  Regular Entemann's is absolutely delicious so it was quite the bummer.  I heard the 100 calorie Lorna Doone cookie crisps are amazing though.

safina, I don't have a bread machine, and do make homemade yeast breads, but this was a quick bread, so it's really easy to make. I got this specific recipe from hereand used fresh pineapple that was needing to be used up instead of canned. Her other recipes have always come out really well for me too. Here are a couple of other recipes I've modified up to be healthier (after you do a bit of lower fat/sugar baking you get a feel for what you can substitute etc...) and have been making for treats lately, not perfect, but better for you than the chemicals in Entenmann's. You can find whole wheat pastry flour at some regular grocery stores, and I can always find it at Whole Foods.


Zucchini Bread:

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups grated, peeled, fresh zucchini (2-3 of the small zucchini)
3 ripe bananas, mashed well (works with two if you don't have three)
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup apple sauce
3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 cups sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional. this makes it quite a bit less healthy, but extra tasty. Or, you can use nuts too/instead if you want)


Mash up bananas, stir in zucchini, oil, apple sauce, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla. Mix until well combined. You can sift the soda salt and flour separately at this point, but I usually just put the flour on top of the wet ingredients and sprinkle the soda and salt on top of that and mix it all up (don't mix too much or the results will be tough) stir in chocolate chips. Pour into two greased and floured bread pans (or if you have a silicone pan like I do, you can just spray it with a little oil). Bake at 350 for about an hour, until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let it cool for 20 min then turn out onto a cooling rack or plate. Let cool for about an hour before eating. You can make the wet ingredients ahead of time then just dump the flour stuff in and mix right before you're ready to bake. You can also bake this as muffins, or a bundt cake. Also, I made this with regular whole wheat flour when I was out of the pastry stuff and it was still good, but not quite as good as with the ww pastry flour.

Banana bread:

Wet stuff:

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vegan butter stuff
1/4 cup apple sauce
3 mashed bananas
1/4 cup soy milk + 1tsp cider vinegar (or whatever vinegar really this of course would also work with real milk if you aren't not drinking milk)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp pumpkin spice mix, or cinnamon if you don't have that
Dry stuff:

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Cream sugars and butter-stuff, add in the rest of the stuff in the wet section and mix well. Dump the flour on top and sprinkle on the soda and salt. Mix well. Pour into a lightly greased/sprayed bread pan and bake at 350 for an hour or a bit longer until done. You can also bake this in muffin tins (for less time) a cake pan... whatever really, just watch it so it doesn't get over-cooked. You can add chocolate chips or nuts or whatever to the batter too. I have made this in a triple batch all at once and it worked just fine. Last time I cut the oil in half again so it was just two tablespoons and it was exactly the same to my mouth....

thanks everyone. I tried hostess and I ended up eating the whole pack. they are very delicious but not for me. I also think that the muffins are bad, didn't buy those. Thanks for the advice.

Finchcat: Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.
