This Muffin Tastes Salty

Or…

IMG_7359-2Blog

Went to bed early. Slept well. Woke up at sunrise. Went running.

Straight to Great Harvest! Matt suggested I take home breakfast – Mondays we make my favorite muffin: the Oat Berry. Yum!

Total miles of exertion to get said muffin: about 4.75.

IMG_7360-2BlogBreakfast-5Blog

Oat Berry crumbled atop a cup of low-fat plain organic yogurt, a diced plum, chia seeds and sunflower butter

    September 19, 2011 at 9:35 am

    I always think your muffin-on-top-of-yogurt breakfasts look so delicious- but the question is: does it keep you as full as oatmeal does?
    I have almost 5 hours between when I eat breakfast and lunch (being a teacher, it’s not flexible) and oatmeal seems to be the only thing that keeps me full. I would like to switch it up occasionally though…

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      September 19, 2011 at 7:30 pm

      Hmmm. Yes, it does. I think the yogurt helps. And there’s more muffin on there than you think!

    Don’t you ever just throw caution to the wind and eat the whole muffin? All I ever see you eat of your own bakery’s goods are corners and crumbs and nibbles. Do you not totally enjoy the baked goods or is it a calorie thing or something else? I know you eat the bread so it’s just strange to me the way you treat the sweet treats.

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      September 19, 2011 at 7:32 pm

      Well our sweets are humongous – perhaps that doesn’t come across? I ate well over half of the muffin today – which was technically more than 1 serving. Some of our bars are 800 calories! 1/4 of one is plenty sweet, but I have eaten more than that of almost all of them at times.

    I want to live next door to Great Harvest so I can spend my days OD’ing on baked goods and bread and sandwiches and carby carbs galore. I am both miserably jealous of you and also completely grateful to be so far from one– for the sake of my booty.

    I’ve always liked your collection of breakfast bowls. I used to eat from paper plates or plastic containers but watching the parade of pretty bowls changed that. I’ve got several nice SIAB, oats, etc bowls for my brekkie. Got a new one on Saturday. The decorations are denim blue on an oatmeal background. It’s so much nicer to eat from a pretty bowl, isn’t it.

    Hahaha loving that idea of shirts with that phrase.. or even ‘will run for bread’… I would run that far for a super delicious Monday morning breakfast too! Do you use the Trader Joe’s sunflower seed butter?? I’m not sure if I like it… it’s almost too sweet??…. recommend any brands?

      They don’t have to be ground, which is why I prefer them to flax. And they are just fun to crunch!

    maybe it’s just a semantic thing, but the way you said “miles of exertion to get said muffin” — did you mean miles it took to run to the bakery? or you would have deprived yourself of the muffin unless you ran 5 miles first — i generally find that you exhibit a healthy lifestyle, so this idea of needing to do a lot of exercise to be “entitled” to eat a muffin seemed strange — i hope it’s the former and not the later…

      Sara! Kath almost always runs before breakfast, and it’s her mode of transport. To me this is no different than running to the grocer to pick up more oats…

      She went for a run, and stopped off at her bakery… it took the effort to GET the muffin, not to deserve it… Stop trying to read things into stuff!

        September 19, 2011 at 7:34 pm

        Definitely a semantic thing.

        I meant the exertion to get something I really wanted for breakfast – like how many miles would you drive to get a bottle of wine at your favorite winery. Nothing to do with energy balance. I eat muffins for breakfast all the time without exercise first.
