These Strawberry Grape Muffins are moist and naturally sweet. A sugar free snack that's Vegan, Gluten Free and has just 115 calories!
Oh hey, muffins. Where've you been? 😉
As you can tell, I decided this weekend I N-E-E-D-E-D muffins especially after powering through last week's homework madness and some unexpected life messes too.
It started 4th of July when I was slammed with a cold and succumbed to the couch all weekend. Only I get sick when it's 110 degrees out. Getting sick in the summer is just wrong. My immune system better be rock solid after this. Thankfully, it was short lived.
Wanna know my trick for knocking it out so fast? Working out. I know it sounds strange, but trust me. Every time I get sick i.e. no fever, I do light workouts (nothing crazy here) just to get the blood and sinus flowing. It forces the gunk out of me in a few days. Working out really is a miracle pill.
Thanks to mister sniffles I was off my game last week then things got so much better when I got up one morning and somehow caught my good leg on the side of the bed. Not like I need more injuries here!
It didn't hurt and there wasn't much blood so I figured no big deal and went about my day. After I taught spin class, it started bleeding. There was actually blood running down my leg. Later that night the pain came on. Now I'm sporting a huge sexy bruise and scar. Now wonder I can't get a boyfriend.
After feeling like an old lady taken down by a simple cold and fall, I drowned my gimpy sorrows in baking. So I guess you could say one woman's bad luck is another one's prize, and these lovely Strawberry Grape Muffins are your prize.
They're moist, decadent, creamy and SUGAR FREE muffins. OMG...say what? Yep! These Strawberry Grape Muffins are naturally sweetened with fruit only. No additives, no extra sugar, no preservatives, no natural flavors, no nada. Just real whole food.
They're also only 115 calories! I'd say for that you could have at least two. Yes? And while you're baking your Strawberry Grape Muffins, you can make grape popsicles with your extra grapes. That's how you make snacking easy!

I've never even thought of grapes in a muffin... brilliant!
Hope your leg is okay! I swear... you might be more accident prone than I am!
It is better! Large bruise and lost some feeling in the tibia. Yeah, I kind of accident prone.
I am convinced that a light workout cures any (not TOO terrible) hangover! In college, I would hop on the elliptical with a trashy magazine and a huge bottle of water after a long night and just sweat it out.
Yes! I used to do that too. Works every time.
LOVE the addition of grapes to these muffins! I totally agree on the strawberry - I just used "melted" frozen strawberries (pureed, basically) to sweeten my coconut flour egg white muffins. They make them taste like a real, decadent cake!
Hope your leg heals soon!
That sounds delicious, like a strawberry shortcake!
Feel betterrrrrrr. And see you soooooon!!
I got antibiotics so that helped!
Love this fun combo. And waking up at 3 on Thursday will turn into a very good thing when I get to Blogfest!
Oh my, it going to be a long day for you especially with the 3 hour time difference. Rest up my dear!
Oh my gosh I totally did that the other day! Huge bruise on my leg as a battle scar against my bed post! I'm with you though sometimes we need muffins in our life it's a fact! I've never tried grapes in muffins before! Yum!
We're twins! I don't know about you, but mine is going to leave an ugly scar. 🙁 But grapes muffins are awesome, you need to try them!
yes, getting sick in summer is WORST! ugh, i feel u. Pass the muffins and a good workout. <3
And drugs. I finally gave in antibiotics even though I try to avoid it like the plague.
My kids would totally love these since grapes and strawberries are their favorite fruits 🙂 I'll have to try your grape popsicles for them too!
Oh they will have so much fun making them!
Workouts and muffins are the cure for everything! I love that these don't have any added sugar. Perfect!
Thanks! I've really been challenging myself to keep sugar at minimum where I can.
