Breakfast CookieMuffin - RNY/MIGRANE Friendly

So, my nine year old gets occasional super bad headaches. He and the nearly five year old need something easy to grab in the morning. They like nutrigrain (generic) bars. Processed foods are on the bad list, so we experimented tonight, and the results were so tasty.

3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup oat flour (we personally ground some steel cut and some rolled and used 1/8 cup of each)

1/4 cup ground flax seed
2 eggs
1/2 cup granular stevia (I haven't cut out stevia yet since it's fairly natural)
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder

1/8 tsp pink salt

1/2 tsp baking powder
No added sugar cherry butter

Mixed it all up, out around an 1/8 of a cup into 12 cup cake spots in my silicone cupcake pan, dropped a teaspoon of cherry butter in the center and topped them if with excess batter.
Some we left as a "jelly filling" some we swirled with toothpicks, the swirls tasted better.
350°F, top rack, 20 minutes.
Husband, Jenna, Trevor, and Caedeon approved.

Today's headache may have lessened, it definitely did not worst after consuming (1).

Disclaimer: I'm no expert I'm new to the migraine diet restrictions and still learning. I can't guarantee my recipes won't trigger you. If you see a known trigger, replace it in your baking, and let me know what you did so I can try it too

A New Chapter - The Migraine Afflicted RNY Veteran

Okay, so two and a half years ago I drive home from a friend's house screaming from pain in my neck. No accident, no warning, no trigger. It sucked. Several facet joint injections, blocks, and RFA's later, we've covered most of my neck...
A year and a half ago the headaches came. Man those suck. So they did some higher facet joints and sent me on my way. Didn't help much. Been in low-mid level constant pain ever since. Two daith peircings, a crap ton of Tylenol with codeine and an occipitial nerve block later they finally send me to a neurologist, because the pain is only getting worse, like level 4 daily, most days spilling to 7-8, with the occasional 9 thrown in, even a 10 once. Keep in mind I've had gastric bypass, 2 caesarian sections, adenomyosis resulting in a hysterectomy, multiple kidney stones, and a broken, unset ankle. I know pain.
I never applied the word migraine to me, what I pictured was people in fetal position in a dark room cuddling a pillow on the floor. Not contrast pain with occasion flares making you cry sometimes. I always thought the nausea came before, mine came after, from the pain. Actual vomiting? I thought my head would exploded with each dry heave. Sexy, huh?
This actually isn't me bitching, that comes next. So I see the neurologist, get this awesome diagnosis and brand new dietary restrictions! Because completely overhauling my way of cooking eight years ago wasn't hard enough, now you gotta take away (in order of importance) 1. Cheese! Seriously? Parmesan is my go to breading/filler replacement usually 50/50 with flax seeds. 2. Almonds (all nuts and seeds) dude! That's my "flour" my "milk" my whole base for the best fudge in the verse! 3. Chocolate - I don't mean for the sake of candy, my favorite proteins? Syntrax Matrix: mint cookie, premier protein: chocolate, EAS AdvantEdge: dark chocolate. Balance mint chocolate bars! Just about everything Luna...
But it's okay, I can have Velveeta and American cheese, pasta, rice, commercial bread, cereals, oh no wait... Yup I'm screwed.
So I have to rework some recipes. The heart of why I'm ranting here. If you're like me and the opposite of what medical folks tell you (I never had migraines when I was fat). You might be looking for some survival recipes in this messed up place with migraines after bariatric surgery.
Cuz I gotta say, being in admin for my paying job, and a fiction writer, as well as severely needing to keep up this blog, I don't have time to deal with migraine pain if I can avoid it.
First up, breakfast cookies, cuz I think coconuts are on the bad boy list too.
