Banana Coconut Creme Muffins

Flax N' Fiber Morning Glory Muffins

Mon, 09 Jan 2006 19:47:32 -0500

This is a recipe I found using Fiber One bran cereal. I'm trying to get more whole grains and fiber in my family and this one is a winner! Each muffin has about 5 grams of fiber and because of the cereal being fortified with vitamins, and the milk they contain calcim, folic acid, iron and Vitamin A. -- posted by Pam-I-Am

Pumpkin-Pecan Muffins

Thu, 19 Jan 2006 18:32:35 -0500

This is a tasty, healthy muffin that both kids and adults will love. I got the recipe from a whole foods cookbook published by La Leche League. The ingredients list looks lengthy because many things are included in both the muffin and the topping so I just have two bowls ready and measure for both at the same time. To give an extra nutritional boost, I cut the oil to 1/4 C and add an extra 1/4 C of pumpkin. They come out very moist. -- posted by MN*Kelly

Apple & Toasted Pecan Muffins

Fri, 10 Feb 2006 17:25:06 -0500

Nice, crumbly type muffin with an addicting taste. You can get 2 dozen regular size muffins or about 4 dozen mini muffins. The original recipe suggests baking for 20-30 minutes, but I like these done a little more so they get crispy around the edges. -- posted by Kim127

Delicious Diabetic Carrot Cake Muffins

Wed, 22 Mar 2006 14:46:40 -0500

These carrot cakes make a great lunch box treat or snack for diabetics. The only "sugar" is a light dusting of powdered sugar, which could be left off. If you choose to make them "non-diabetic", frost with cream cheese icing. -- posted by Redneck Epicurean

Coco-Kiss Pumpkin Muffins

Fri, 24 Mar 2006 16:01:39 -0500

These deliciously spicy muffins are kissed with a touch of the Tropics a buttered-rum-coconut heart that will have you swooning with every bite. The unusual addition of cornmeal makes the muffins even more wholesome texturally, and the addition of a dollop of sour cream in the batter provides a tender crumb. Dont let the long list of ingredients phase you these come together in no time at all. -- posted by evelyn/athens

North Carolina Applesauce Muffins

Mon, 22 May 2006 20:00:05 -0400

These muffins are great for breakfast, snack, or any time!! Really moist, deliciously spicy, and lightly sweet -- they are filling yet not heavy at all, and they have such a nice crunch from the sliced almonds. Healthy and yummy. They received an emphatic stamp of approval from the Picky Sibling Taste-Tester Association (though one of the extremely persnickety members did ask that the nuts be ommitted next time). :) The original recipe is from The American Country Inn and Bed & Breakfast Cookbook, and the book's authors got it from the Havenshire Inn in Hendersonville, NC. The batter keeps well in the fridge, and baked muffins freeze well. I think these would be really good with chunky applesauce as well. -- posted by A Messy Cook

Maple Pecan Muffins

Mon, 29 May 2006 22:17:44 -0400

This recipe has been on my BF's wish list for some time. I finally made them today as a Sunday breakfast muffins and the second batch is still in the oven. We really like them and we're quite happy that we didn't halve the recipe. The recipe makes 20, but hey, muffins freeze beautifully. I wrap them individually in foil before freezing and take one out before I leave the house for work or university. By noon it will be ready to eat. If you want them for breakfast just take them out the evening before. Please note: If you prefer a spicer muffin there is a variation given at the end. -- posted by tigerduck

Kittencal's Banana-Almond Muffins With Almond Streusel

Fri, 01 Sep 2006 16:35:10 -0400

To save some time prepare the topping in advance and refrigerate. You should get around 10-12 muffins depending on the size of bananas you use, the yield is only estimated, 1 cup of sugar will give you a sweet muffin you may reduce the sugar if desired --- these bake out high and moist with lots of flavor and are one of my family's all-time favorite muffins, you will love these! -- posted by KITTENCAL

Oatmeal Raisin Muffins

Thu, 07 Sep 2006 18:04:06 -0400

Simple to make and good for you oatmeal raisin muffins from a magazine clipping in my files. Only 297 calories per muffin. You can omit the nuts and use one cup of raisins if you like. Instead of preparing the muffin pans with cooking spray, I use recipe #78579 #78579 here at zaar to grease my baking pans. Works for all kinds of baking and other cooking pans, and keeps for a long time in the refrigerator. An ice cream scoop with a release lever is helpful to portion out the batter into the muffin cups. -- posted by foodtvfan

Gluten-Free Coconut Blueberry Muffins

Thu, 26 Oct 2006 21:55:47 -0400

A moist, sweet, gluten-free muffin that happens to be reduced carb and high in fiber. Coconut flour absorbs a huge amount of liquid, so only a small amount of flour is necessary. The eggs work as a leavening and binding agent. Very yummy. Kosher: Pareve (if made with oil). Dairy-free and grain-free. -- posted by What's Cooking?

Pumpkin Pecan Cream Cheese Muffins

These muffins are moist and flavorful... especially good right out of the oven. (I just finished eating one. :)) This is similar to a few other recipes on Zaar, but this one happens to be my favorite and I was curious about the nutritional info, so I decided to post anyway. The recipe is easily halved, but I usually make the full two dozen... the first batch without the nuts and the second batch with. They are great for parties or for giving to your neighbors to say Happy Fall!! -- posted by Al Al

I was in the mood for pineapple and wanted to make some muffins and found few such combinations on this site. I did a quick search and found this on About.com, under the heading Southern U.S. Cuisine, from Diana Rattray. I really liked these, they are flavorful and not overly sweet. I thought they might need a little something and I added some allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg to the topping. -- posted by pattikay in L.A.

Lemon Coconut Muffins

Fri, 05 Jan 2007 14:35:19 -0500

Adapted from Company's Coming - Mostly Muffins. The batter is a nice, fluffy, light batter. It scoops into the muffin cups easily. The final result is a touch crumbly but still tastes WONDERFUL. If you would like to, you can omit the oatmeal and increase the coconut by the 1/2 cup. That is how the original recipe was listed but I tried to make it a little lower in fat by decreasing the coconut. -- posted by Saturn

Christmas Morning Jewelled Muffin Mix in a Jar

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 17:14:31 -0500

Delightful festive spiced muffins, studded with jewel coloured fruit and nuts - just the thing for Christmas morning! I love all types of "mixes" in a jar! Soups, biscuits, spices, cookies and cake mixes etc! However, this muffin mix is my favourite - it makes a wonderful gift, or I make it for us, as it looks so pretty & festive sitting in the kitchen waiting to be baked! Try to use really colourful dried fruits with a good mix of tastes and textures. For those of you who cannot source Mixed Spice, an essential ingredient, I have a recipe posted on Zaar: Recipe #266688. This muffin mix is always popular as a gift, and I do try to find unusual shaped jars and hand-made paper or card for the baking instructions. A wooden spoon tied around the neck of the jar is another winning idea - and don't forget the Holly sprig! -- posted by French Tart

Entered for safe-keeping, just got a heavy-duty 12-cup food processor. From George Geary's "125 Best Food Processor Recipes". He warns that 1) if the berries are thawed before adding to the batter, they can turn it an unpleasant blue color and 2) if you use butter instead of shortening, your muffins will not be as flaky. The cooled muffins can be frozen in a resealable plastic bag for up to 30 days. -- posted by KateL

I love this bread. It's so moist and versatile. I make it for breakfast, brunch, tea parties, and even desert. I like to use a mini loaf pan and give the loaves as gifts in a gift basket along with other "Hawaiian" treats. I also use valtrompia bread tubes in different shapes and then slice. The slices look so pretty on a plate. If you use the bread tubes, be sure to fold wax paper to fit over both ends of the tubes before fitting the lids on. I learned this recipe when I used to be a consultant for Pampered Chef. -- posted by JeanieK

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

Mani's Bakery's High Protein Muffin

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 02:33:14 -0400

This recipe comes from the LA Times Food section's SOS column posted in response to reader pleading. It is an adapted recipe from the bakery. You need jumbo muffin tins to get the 14 muffins from this - regular tins will yield more muffins & likely need a slightly shortened cooking time. Should be getting about 11 grams of protein & 9 grams of fiber with about 32 grams of fat - but a lot of that is coming from the seeds & canola oil. Just the thing for hiking, fishing or hunting - easy to eat & needs no fridge! -- posted by Buster's friend
