Just wanted to share a couple of discoveries I made over the holidays.
I found some muffin mix at the health food store and tried it on Christmas morning, along with some fake sausage patties. They were both good, and I was so excited to have something for breakfast besides my normal bowl of oatmeal! I really love the muffins and have eaten up to 4 in a day because they are so yummy and don't bother my stomach at all. YUM!
The muffin mix is Dr. Oetker Organic Oatmeal Muffin Mix. They have other varieties, too. This week, I bought mixes for carrot muffins (might be like carrot cake?) and baking mix. You can view all the ingredients and nutritional info on the Dr. Oetker site.
The fake meat I found is GimmeLean by LightLife. I've tried the sausage (made little sausage patties) and the beef (used to make tacos with homemade taco seasoning from the recipe index). My husband said the sausage was okay (we ate it plain), and both he and our 3-year-old loved the tacos. It's a new regular meal around here. Looking forward to using it more!
I found the muffin mixes at the health food stores (Wild Oats/Whole Foods and Earth Fare). I have found the GimmeLean meats at most large grocery stores (Kroger, Publix, & Walmart) and health food stores.
Just thought I'd share. 
P.S. Keep in mind that the GimmeLean "meats" are made from soy, so if you can't eat soy products, this won't work for you.

Mmmm I love Dr. Oetker but haven't really looked at any of their products since starting EFI. I'll take another look next time I go shopping!

I did see the brownies, but I haven't made them. The muffins I've eaten only call for 2 Tbsp of canola oil for the entire batch. The brownies call for 1/4 cup butter for an 8" square pan of brownies, which sounded like a lot to me (although I haven't actually calculated it...).
My favorite brownies are the No Pudge brownies, which only call for a container of yogurt. I use vanilla soy yogurt. It is borderline on the fat content, so I just eat a small one after a healthy meal. Maybe the Dr. Oetker brownies would be about the same...

The ingredients and nutrition info look fine. I think it would depend on what the baking instructions call for. If it requires a high amount of fat, maybe you could try replacing half the oil/butter with applesauce.
