For the longest time I tried to come up with a single-serve muffin using oat flour, but all of my attempts were either gummy or eggy or dry. Finally, finally I succeeded with the Blueberry Muffin for One in Convenient Food, and I decided to create another version with one of my favorite flavor combos – mango & spice – for the blog! The result – this Single-Serve Mango Muffin – makes an amazing THM E breakfast, snack, or dessert; and it’s even gluten, dairy, and nut free!

I wanted to come up with an oat flour muffin because oat flour is SO CHEAP. Literally, you can make your own by grinding old-fashioned or quick oats to flour in a coffee/spice grinder or high-powered blender. (You can also purchase oat flour in some grocery/health food stores and online.)

The only problem with oat flour is that it can result in a gummy texture. And that, my friends, is why I like to combine it with the drier, fluffier oat fiber….

Hey folks! This gigantic list of 60+ healthy summer squash recipes is for my mom. 😛 Not once but twice she suggested that I create a zucchini recipe roundup so she could have a whole bunch of recipes at a glance to choose from to use up the zucchini that is growing prolifically in her garden. A few weeks later…here ya go, Mom! Now how about mailing me some zucchini?

I decided to expand this to include all summer squash, so you’ll find some yellow squash recipes in here as well (no winter squash like butternut or spaghetti or acorn squash, though). All of the recipes are THM friendly, and most are low carb (but not quite all). These recipes are the perfect way to use up your garden’s bounty! Or if you don’t have a garden, snag some zucchini or yellow squash at a good price at your local farmer’s market or grocery store while they’re in season….
