Blueberry Oat Breakfast Muffins

 
Slimming World Blueberry Muffins
 

As I write this my house smells like heaven. I've just made this batch of blueberry oat muffins, to curb the recent morning pastry cravings that have been coming my way! Perfect to pop in a lunchbox when on the move in the morning. These are fairly simple to make and very low in syns (3.5 each, or have three for for your healthy B and add 7.5 syns). The syns come from the small bit of flour, cooked blueberries, butter, sugar, and a splash of orange juice. Considering that standard shop-bought blueberry muffins are between 20-27 syns each, these are a brilliant alternative!

Pizza Boat Recipe (4 syns!)

 

Another day, another " I cant believe I'm allowed eat this" moment. 

Ol El Paso have some products which are absolutely loaded with syns. For example, this one pan rice meal which ended up having 36 syns! That was a near-disaster let me tell you. Thank god for the slimming world app!

One absolute gem that they have on offer now though, is the stand and stuff flour tortilla. They come in this handy pack of 8, and work out at only 4 syns each!


These can be used as the base for a lil' mexican feast. There is also no harm to be a little experimental and use them as a base for a dessert, for example. In this instance, I'm going to show you my recipe for a "Meat Feast" Pizza boat. You can use any fillings you'd usually have on a pizza!
