A collection of delicious, dietitian-approved healthy muffin recipes that are perfect for breakfast, snacks, and even dessert! From classic morning glory and lemon poppyseed muffins to rich chocolate muffins, and even savory cornbread muffins, these easy muffin recipes are easy to make, nourishing, and perfect for the whole family.
It's no secret that I have a real muffin obsession. The proof is in all these fabulous recipes I've perfected over the years! Vegan muffins, gluten free muffins, flourless muffins, low sugar muffins...there's something for everyone.
I love the versatility of muffins (you can eat them any time of day!), that they keep me full and satisfied for hours, and that you can't beat the smell of baking muffins in your kitchen!
And they're super nourishing, too!
As a nutrition professional, my recipes have much less sugar and fat when compared to store-bought, bakery, or other traditional muffins.
You can feel good about sharing these recipes with toddlers and kiddos because they're made with wholesome ingredients
- My recipes often include whole grains, nuts and seeds, fiber, and fruits or vegetables
- I use healthy oils like avocado oil and coconut oil
- I opt for unrefined sweeteners like maple syrup, honey or coconut sugar and limiting processed sugars.
- Many are also egg or dairy-free, gluten-free, or vegan!
What flour is best?
It really depends on the recipe, but I like to use:
- whole wheat flour (for the fiber!)
- whole wheat pastry flour (so fluffy!)
- or a combo of almond and oat flour for gluten free muffins.
You could also use half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour, or even 100% all-purpose flour if that's what you have on hand!
