Notes about Recipes in this book

• Crammed with chocolate chip muffins

  • Churchim808 on May 27, 2024

    These are amazing. I've made them more times than I can count. I keep them in a ziplock bag in the freezer for a quick re-heat in the microwave. This is a great use for Lily's sugar free chocolate chips.

• Banana bread bonanza muffins

  • Churchim808 on May 27, 2024

    Excellent, but I can't resist adding extra walnuts. Also, I've used granulated Splenda and Allulose but never Truvia.

• OMG oatmeal raisin muffins

  • Churchim808 on May 27, 2024

    Very good but I substitute chocolate chips for raisins.

• Crazy for corn muffins

  • Churchim808 on May 27, 2024

    I don't consider myself a corn muffin person but these were surprisingly good. The last time I made them, I added frozen raspberries and lemon zest which was great with the corn.

• Apple crumb yum donuts

  • Churchim808 on May 27, 2024

    I've made these and enjoyed them very much. I'm only giving them three starts because they are a lot more work than most Hungry Girl baked goods recipes. I've never made them again because you get the same payoff with her wonderful muffins without the additional labor.

• Tropical tiki French toast

  • Churchim808 on May 29, 2024

    I substituted pineapple for mango. Also, something that always bothers me about Hungry Girl recipes is that when she calls for coconut extract, she always specifies a tiny amount. Maybe she's using a different brand than me but if you want to taste it at all, you need to add more.

• Peanut butter cup French toast

  • Churchim808 on July 28, 2024

    This is very good but it's a lot of work for one serving.

• Perfect pumpkin pie pancakes

  • Churchim808 on May 27, 2024

    These are pretty good if you don't mind the oat bran texture. For me, it's best to mix the dry ingredients the night before if you want to make these. Getting all the parts together first thing in the morning takes too much time when you are just cooking for yourself.

• Choco monkey overnight oats

  • Churchim808 on May 27, 2024

    These are the only overnight oats I can stand. All other recipes are disgusting but this is actually edible. In fact, I have a banana and may make them tonight!

• Crazy carrot cake oatmeal bake

  • Churchim808 on May 27, 2024

    As you can probably surmise from the ingredient list which includes chia seeds and very little fat, these are super dry. Suck all the moisture out of your mouth and chew forever dry.

• Oh my cherry pie oatmeal bake

  • Churchim808 on July 28, 2024

    This turned out great but I cheated a little. Instead of four egg whites, I used two whole eggs. I also added about a tablespoon of vegetable oil since it's an extremely low fat recipe and I wanted to soften it up a bit. In my experience, old fashioned oats benefits from a long soak to hydrate the oats before baking. I added the cherries frozen and let the whole thing sit for an hour before putting it in the oven.

• Tuna zoodle casserole

  • Churchim808 on May 27, 2024

    This was not bad. Nothing beats a casserole that is diet friendly. I love having the leftovers in the fridge so I can help myself without having to think about points or carbs or calories. This also has the distinction of having a much higher vegetable content than most casseroles..

• Classic cheesy mac casserole

  • Churchim808 on May 27, 2024

    This is very good and it makes a ton of food. I cut the recipe it half and I felt like it still would have fed four people.

• Hungry girlfedo mac 'n broc bake

  • Churchim808 on July 28, 2024

    This is really more of a vegetable dish with a dash of pasta. There is 10 cups of vegetables to 4.5 oz of pasta. Still pretty good and filling. Makes a ton.

• Caramelized onion chickpea burgers

  • Churchim808 on April 21, 2025

    These were delicious. They take a while because caramelizing onions takes a while. Otherwise, pretty easy and not the usual dry, suck the moisture out of your mouth, texture of most homemade veggie burgers. They do need a couple squirts of hot sauce, and I didn’t have low fat cheddar so used regular. Served on a toasted bun with mayo and green leaf lettuce. These receive the ultimate compliment: I’ll eat one for breakfast tomorrow.

• Double chocolate cakies

  • Churchim808 on May 27, 2024

    Super disappointed with these. For some reason, the artificial sweetener flavor really was pronounced.

• My oh my maple nut blondies

  • Churchim808 on May 27, 2024

    These are fantastic. Absolutely one of the best recipes in the book.
