Sweet & Speedy Breakfast Oat Bran Muffin (Microwave)

Wed, 04 Feb 2009 23:49:46 -0500

Stir and pop into the microwave for an easy, healthy breakfast! I mix it up, microwave, and eat it straight out of a ceramic mug. The batter sticks a little, but to wash cleanly, pour in hot water and soap and let sit until you do the dishes! I was inspired by *Pixie* 's South Beach Muffin (http://www.recipezaar.com/South-Beach-Muffin-263983) but I didn't have the baking powder, yogurt, or flaxseed, so I improvised. Change up the recipe by adding in raisins, nuts, and other flavorings (almond extract, etc) -- posted by Pink Crockpot

Carrot Spice Morning Glory Muffins

Tue, 17 Feb 2009 11:11:17 -0500

These are wonderfully satisfying breakfast muffins. They are moist, warmly spiced, and only just sweet enough. They are full of good nutrition too! For an extra health boost, you can add 1/4 cup of ground flax seeds; it doesn't affect the texture. They are great warm, and maybe even better after having cooled. This recipe is from Dorie Greenspan's fabulous cookbook, "Baking: From My Home to Yours". Enjoy! -- posted by blucoat

Carrot Cake Muffins (With Carrot and Cauliflower)

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 02:15:44 -0400

This is an amazing 'muffin' recipe (I think they're almost like cupcakes when you add the frosting) from Jessica Seinfeld's book "Deceptively Delivious". I get rave reviews everytime I make them. I prefer to use applesauce in place of the pureed cauliflower. -- posted by Rachie P

Banana Morning Glory Muffins (Cooking Light)

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 18:09:13 -0400

A delicious, nutritious and satisfying muffin from "Cooking Light Magazine (July 2007). You can definitely play around with this recipe- it does well with substitutions. These freeze very well. Either microwave for 20 seconds or just pull one out of the freezer before you leave for the day, and it will be defrosted and perfect in about an hour, just in time for a snack!. If you want, you can fold the flax into the batter, rather than sprinkling it on top. -- posted by blucoat

Blueberry Bran Muffins

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:36:20 -0400

This muffin was adapted from a Bon Appetit recipe. The magazine said it came from the Cape Deli in Hyannis on Cape Cod. I added the bran to make them a bit healthier (LOL) but they are also very nice without it. With no bran the top crust gets really crunchy - must be the large amount of sugar! With bran they don't rise as much and are softer but they are still yummy. -- posted by Marysdottir

Granola Muffins

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 03:31:41 -0400

Great muffin to make for breakfast or anytime. SUPER easy and the kids love it!! I tweaked another recipe that I found posted here...omitting some fat and adding a few other ingredients. They freeze well, too. I used Quaker Natural Granola with Oats, Honey & Raisins because that is what I had on hand. The slivered almonds are really yummy in the muffins. And, I also 'made' my own buttermilk by adding 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to regular skim milk before combining the wet ingredients. -- posted by family5chef

Avocado, Banana and Mango Muffins

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 12:10:08 -0400

An unusual combination, to be sure, but one that looks so good I just had to share! I've recently discovered the wonders of avocados, and have been trying to find new ways to enjoy their heart-healthy benefits. Though I haven't yet tried these muffins (from the Kiwi Gardens B&B in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii), I will certainly do so the next time I have some extra avocados on hand. You can save some time by using thawed frozen mango chunks instead of fresh mango. -- posted by Lynne the Pirate Queen

Oatmeal "cookie" Muffins

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 15:21:35 -0400

Banana Maple Pecan Bread Muffins (Gluten-Free)

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 01:58:04 -0400

I bought a 20lb bag of bananas at Krogers for $1.00 and have been trying to use them all up. This is one of the recipes I made in the process. It was by far the most scrumptious recipe that I made. It could also be made into a bread, but I made muffins. This is definitely my new default banana bread recipe! Imade a double batch and ended up with 39 muffins. I made half with the called for maple syrup/pecan topping and half with a cream cheese topping. To make the cream cheese topping, I whipped 6oz cream cheese with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup maple syrup. These were absolutely heavenly fresh out of the oven. *For the gluten free flour, I used Bette Hagman's mix: 2 parts garfava bean flour, 1 part sorghum flour, 3 parts cornstarch, and 3 parts tapioca flour. -- posted by Andrew Mollmann

Mon, 04 May 2009 14:40:26 -0400

I wanted to come up with a filling breakfast with sufficient protein that my fiance could take on the go or my boys could have before school. Going off a breakfast casserole recipe, I completely modified it to make these hearty, energy filled muffins. I am going to work on a healthier version next go around, using ground chicken. *These freeze well. *Could be baked as a casserole in a 9 x 9 pan. 350 F for approx 1 hour. *Use glass, ceramic or best choice, stoneware pans. Metal pans turn the bottoms too dark. -- posted by Shannon & boys

Low-Fat, 100% Whole Grain Banana Muffins

Sat, 23 May 2009 18:07:04 -0400

I make this with Hodson Mill Whole Grain Pancake Mix which consists of whole grain wheat flour and whole cornmeal.... and it's cheap too! This is not a cake-y muffin.... it's lightly sweet and grainy. It's great for breakfast... 2 of these and a glass of milk tide me over for hours. I use Smart Balance Butter Blend because it has butter to give it real buttery taste and the Smart Balance has healthful benefits that butter lacks. The best thing about Smart Balance Butter Blend is that it doesn't sacrifice taste! You could choose to use the same amount of olive oil, applesauce, or even non-fat yogurt instead of butter for even more health benefits, but it may sacrifice the taste. You can use any kind of sugar but dark brown sugar has a lower glycemic index than white sugar. Never ever use margarine in these! Margarine is loaded with trans fats (partially hydrogenated oils), even when the label says 0g trans fats on them. If a serving has less than 1g of trans fats, they can legally label them as "0g trans fats".... which means there could be .99g of trans fats per serving. Trans fats consumption leads to the hardening of arteries (atherosclerosis), which can lead to heart disease. Also, do not substitute in Splenda for sugar. Splenda (sucralose) is chlorinated sugar (sucrose), which is highly reactive in the body! This is my first recipe here, I hope you love these muffins! -- posted by rammynoodles

Orange Cream Cheese Muffins

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:25:42 -0400

I love this recipe because it uses an entire half orange, peel and all, and tastes like a cross between a cheesecake and a pound cake! This recipe is adapted from "Great Coffee Cakes, Sticky Buns, Muffins and More" by Carole Walter. For an optional Orange Glaze: Combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 5 tablespoons fresh orange juice, and 1 ½ tsp light corn syrup. Whisk until smooth and pour over muffins. The recipe makes 14 medium muffins, or 12 slightly larger ones. -- posted by blucoat

The addition of yogurt not only makes these muffins moist, but helps them stay fresh in an airtight container for up to three days and still taste wonderful.

Lemon Basil Blueberry Muffins

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:41:37 -0400

From The Herb Society of America: This is a wonderfully delicious and fragrant muffin; it is sweet like cake. The addition of blue corn is fun and tasty gives a bit of added texture and the corn is sweet. If you aren't familiar with blue cornmeal, try it and you will find its earthy taste is good in cornbread, muffins, and blue corn pancakes. You can use yellow or white cornmeal if you don't have the blue. Use a combination of lemon and cinnamon basil for the fragrance and flavor; the citrus and the spice go well with the blueberries. However, if you don't have both basils, either one can be used on its own and still make a tasty muffin. -- posted by Ariella

Banana Muffins, Diabetic and Delicious

This can be made with some chopped nuts in place of the blueberries (or a small amount in addition to the berries). The nuts will add fat but nuts are heart healthy fat, you know the good kind. -- posted by Annacia

Gluten Free Banana Muffins (Or Fruit of Your Choice)

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 03:16:46 -0400

Finally! A moist, gluten free muffin without any odd plant flavors or mysterious zing. The recipe calls for extra finely ground rice flour which at this time I've only found from Authentic Foods. The extra fine grind prevents the gritty texture often found in gluten free baked goods and gives the muffins a light crumb. I've listed individual flour ingredients for bakers with a stocked gluten free pantry but you can cheat and buy this flour blend premixed from Authentic Foods as GF Classics Blend. This recipe is given for a banana nut muffin, but feel free to swap out with the fruit of your choice. The muffins are fairly sweet, you can easily reduce sugar to 1/3 c. if you prefer. -- posted by ravingcutie

I have made this substituting many types of fruit, including dried fruits that have been soaked in hot water, and also using flavored yogurts. It always turns out great. -- posted by pansregnig

Yummy Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:41:35 -0500

I got the idea off of Econobusters, but changed it so much that it's pretty much my own now. For the GF flour mix, I use Recipe #391326 (with almond meal as the last ingredient - so there is some protein that doesn't show up in the nutrition). It rises really well, but needs to cool for awhile before eating. -- posted by WI Cheesehead

The original recipe used frozen raspberries, but I had a berry mix of raspberries, cherries, blueberries, and blackberries on my hands. The result was very tasty! I made these for a light brunch on Thanksgiving day. -- posted by quirkycook

Cranberry Muffins

This is a great breakfast and/or snack muffin! The yogurt keeps it extremely moist and the cranberries will keep you on your toes. The recipe can be halved and the finished muffins frozen. Please note that most of the prep time is slicing your cranberries! If you have a food processor, it definitely helps. -- posted by Rhapsodies

Moist, tender muffins, brimming with the most scrumptious, buttery streusel. Note: This is one of my favorite recipes- so I felt terrible to see that a reviewer had problems with the recipe! It really is a wonderful recipe- but you have to be really careful not to over-mix! -- posted by #2 #8

Brown Butter Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins

Adapted from Gormet Cookbook. These muffins are light, sweet, buttery and packed to the hilt with juicy blueberries. They are reminiscent of tiny, personal sized coffee cakes. I warn you, if you make these, dont plan on having too many to share. But if you think you might, these would be perfect weekend fare. -- posted by Chef #1454031
