The Ultimate Healthy Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Line two muffin pans with paper muffin cups.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and vanilla. Add the carrots, apple, pineapple, pecans, coconut, and raisins and stir together. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Scoop the batter with a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice cream scoop (I use rounded scoops of batter) into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Place the pans on a baking rack to cool and serve the muffins warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a muffin tin.
• Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg together in a small bowl.
• Mash bananas in a large bowl. Mix in white sugar, melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Fold in flour mixture until just combined. Fold walnuts into the batter.
• Divide batter evenly among the muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 175c fan oven
• Sieve together the flour, sugar and baking powders in a large bowl.
• Mix together the butter, eggs, yoghurt and vanilla essence, then combine with the flour until mixed together.
• Mix in the chocolate followed by the berries until just combined, be careful not to over mix.
• Spoon into 12 Muffin cases then pop in the pre-heated oven and bake for 20 min.
• Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 5 min, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Grease muffin pan.
• Make streusel topping.
• In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
• Cut in 3 tablespoons butter or margarine with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Set aside.
• Make muffin batter.
• Combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl.
• Stir in milk, egg, butter and lemon peel.
• Stir in 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips and blueberries.
• Spoon into prepared pan, filling almost full.
• Sprinkle with Streusel Topping.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Cool in pans for 5 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool.
• Very tasty when served warm.
• For added punch.
• Melt remaining chip in microwave and drizzle over the muffins.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Use 1 tsp oil to lightly oil a 12-hole muffin tin (or use paper cases). Mix both flours with the baking powder and lemon zest. Reserve 1 tbsp caster sugar, then stir the rest into the flour with the muscovado.
• Mash the banana well. In another bowl beat the egg, then stir in the banana, buttermilk and oil. Using a large metal spoon, very lightly stir into the flour mix, just to combine. Over-mixing will make the muffins tough. Toss in the blueberries and give just a few turns of the spoon to carefully stir them in without crushing.
• Spoon the mixture into the tin - each hole should be very full. Bake for 20-25 mins until risen and golden.
• Mix the reserved caster sugar with the lemon juice. When the muffins are done, remove from the oven, then brush with the sugar and lemon mixture while they are still hot. Gently loosen the edges of each muffin with a knife, then leave in the tin for 15 mins to cool a little as they're very delicate while hot. Remove to a wire rack. Best eaten the day of making, but will keep for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• SOAK: oats, 12 grain cereal and cornmeal in yoghurt and apple sauce (or prune puree) for 1/2 hour. Add brown sugar, egg and mix well.
• MIX: flour, flax, baking powder, baking soda - Add to yoghurt mix. Combine just until moist. Batter should be fairly thick. Add a tablespoon or two more of flour if batter is runny.
• FOLD: fold in berries (or fruit) dried cranberries (or rasins).
• Grease muffin pan or use line with muffin cups.
• Makes 12 muffins (or 6 super muffins!).
• Bake at 350 F for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted into muffin comes out clean.
