Pennys muffins, muffin tops, cookies??
anyone try these?
Which are your favorite? I'm thinking of trying. I've bought plenty of the vitatops and I really like those (the chocolate brownie with nuts, the triple chocolate chunk-- how do they compare? This is their website: http://www.pennyslowfatdesserts.com/default.asp Thanks!!:) |
I used to order Penny's muffins regularly, back when they offered 100-110 calorie muffins. I loved them. They were a good size (larger than the Vitalicious muffins) and tasted great. I couldn't tell that they were low fat, they tasted just like regular muffins to me. They were lighter in texture than your average muffin, but that didn't bother me. I haven't ordered their muffins since they've changed their recipe; now all their muffins are upwards of 150 calories and I'm just not sure I want to devote that many calories to a muffin, when I know I can buy or make muffins that are around 100 calories per muffin. But in terms of taste and quality, I was very happy with their muffins.
I've never tried the Vitalicious muffins, so I can't compare them (I just know Penny's muffins are larger by comparing the serving size for each). |
well, according to my Weight Watchers leader, she (my leader) complained to her about the changes, and supposedly they have changed them back to the way they were before....
I looked online and they said they were 1 point each; I forgot to check the calories though. |
The muffin tops are 1 pt and around 100 calories, but they used to offer whole muffins (a muffin top is really just half a muffin) that were only 100 calories and 1 pt. Their whole muffins now are all 2 pts and 150 to 160 calories.
I'm not into the muffin top thing; if I'm going to eat a muffin, I want to eat a whole muffin. I emailed them about it and they said that peopled like the new recipe better. But I liked the old recipe fine and definitely liked 100 calories vs. 150 calories for a whole muffin a lot better. The flavors all sound great and I might try them at some point. Now that I'm in maintenance, I don't need to be quite so stingy with my calories, but it's a hard habit to get out of. |
