Link Party: Show Your Style Sunday #4

I sure do love spending a lazy day at home with my hubby and sweet little puppy. It really makes you appreciate the little things in life. Random question of the day: Has anyone ever seen "The Truman Show?" My husband told me to give it a shot, and one thing I can tell you for sure is that it makes it really hard to write a blog post! I give it two thumbs up to anyone who hasn't had the chance to see it before! Such a creative idea for a movie!

As always, to start off, here are some of my favorite pins of the week:

Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

Happy Friday everyone! It's time to put the week behind us, and move on to a beautiful weekend! This recipe is a feature from my link party this week, and they looked so delicious, I had to give them a try! If you have a family event, a child's play date or just feel like baking something sweet this weekend, you must give these Peanut Butter Cup Brownies from The First Year Blog a try!

Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

Total Time: 23 min

Prep: 8 min

Cook: 15 min

Yield: 12 brownie cups

Ingredients

1 box of your favorite brownie mix

(Eggs & vegetable oil per brownie mix)
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
¾ cup creamy peanut butter

Cooking spray

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°/350° depending on the type of muffin pan you are using. It will tell you on the back of the brownie box which to use. Spray a 12-count muffin pan with cooking spray

2. Prepare and bake the brownies as directed.

3. Evenly divide the brownie mix into the coated muffin tin. (About 3 tablespoons per muffin cup) Bake the brownies for 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out slightly wet.

4. Allow the brownies to cool for about 5 minutes. They should each fall slightly in the center.

5. Heat the peanut butter in the microwave for about 45 seconds and stir it well so it turns into a liquid. Spoon about a teaspoon of the liquid peanut butter into the dip of each brownie cup and top them with a few chocolate chips. Enjoy!

*Tip: Beth at The First Year Blog recommends that if the brownies don't fall, just use the back of a tablespoon to make a slight dip in the center.

Skinny Strawberry & Blueberry Muffins

Breakfast is one of my favorite meals of the day. I would eat breakfast for lunch and dinner (which I've done many times)! So when I came across this recipe from Kitchen Meets Girl, it really caught my eye. The best thing about this recipe is that it's skinny, but still has tons of flavor! I hope you enjoy these delicious muffins!

Skinny Strawberry & Blueberry Muffins

Total Time: 40 min

Prep: 15 min

Cook: 25 min

Yield: 6 large muffins/12 small muffins

Ingredients

2 ½ cup old-fashioned oats

1 cup strawberry Greek yogurt (I used Chobani)

2 large eggs

½ cup baking stevia (you can also use sugar; start with 1/2 cup and add a litte extra, depending on your taste)

1 ½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

1 cup strawberries, diced, and divided

½ cup blueberries

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Line 12 muffin tins with foil liners, or spray really well with cooking spray so the oats don’t stick.

2. Place all of your ingredients (except the strawberries & blueberries) in a blender or food processor, and blend until the oats are smooth. You might need to stop and use a spoon to mix up the ingredients by hand and then blend again.

3. Pour the batter into a medium sized bowl, and fold in 1 cup of strawberries and the blueberries.

4. Divide the batter equally into each the muffin pan. Add the remaining ½ cup diced strawberries over the top of each muffin. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes & enjoy!
