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

Danish Ebleskiver (Buttermilk Recipe)

Tue, 26 May 2009 01:59:15 -0400

This is a traditional Danish recipe, from my husband's family. This REQUIRES the use of an ebleskiver iron or monk's pan. It's basically little fluffly ball-shaped pancakes. You can fill them with fruit jams, applesauce, or have them plain with a dusting of powdered sugar. My kids LOVE them! -- posted by Mrs. Odneal <3

Gluten-Free Teff Banana Bread (Vegan + Soy-Free)

Wed, 27 May 2009 22:31:52 -0400

This vegan gluten-free banana bread recipe is made with super nutritious teff flour and sorghum flour. If you don't have those flours on hand you can replace them with brown rice flour, though the bread won't be as flavorful.

Banana Crumb Muffins

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 16:42:12 -0400

I'm not a banana fan, and I don't normally care for banana or zucchini breads (I'd rather have those foods by themselves), but this is pretty tasty. Continuing my quest to use up the practically free bananas, I ventured out and made these muffins. The topping is king for me, but overall a nice moist quickbread.

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

Kellie's Basic, Go Ahead and Mess With It, Scone Recipe

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 12:47:48 -0400

This recipe started as a Lemon Glazed Scone recipe I found in a locally published recipe book, you know the kind sold as a money raiser with personal recipes from community members. Over the years I have adapted it many times. It has become the basic formula I use to make scones for tea with friends, family gatherings or on those mornings when I wake up and find we are out of bread and cereal. I add whatever I have in the cupboard or fridge. It has never let me down. I encourage you to substitute and add stuff. The basic formula is mix together the dry stuff, cut in the shortening, stir in any lumpy additions then mix in the wet stuff. Have fun with it! -- posted by redplaid huf

This recipe comes to us courtesy of the Renegade Lunch Lady Chef Ann Cooper and her book Lunch Lessons: Changing the Way We Feed our Children. 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. If cake flour is not readily available, all-purpose flour can be substituted. The muffins will be slightly denser, but will taste just as good.

Pancakes--Healthy, but They'll Never Know!

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 02:43:11 -0400

The dry ingredients can be mixed up in large volume, stored in the fridge or freezer to retain freshness, and used as a substitute for Bisquick for things like muffins, biscuits, etc. Bisquick contains shortening so be sure to add enough fat to compensate (generally, 1/4 C per 2 cups baking mix). I buy all the dry ingredients at my local natural foods store; they're sold in bulk and are both cheaper and fresher than supermarket varieties. -- posted by firefly68

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

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

A healthy, tasty muffin your family is sure to love. For the Greek yogurt, I highly recommend Oikos or Chobani. It lends a very delicate texture to the end product. The blueberry flavor doesn't come through on its own, but adds a nice depth of flavor. -- posted by Chef #661355

Whole Wheat Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

These tasty morsels come from King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking. I typically sub in either 1/2 cup to 1 cup of white flour to lighten them up a little. These will disappear from your breakfast table faster than you realize! My toddler gobbles these up! -- posted by Hadice

Carrot Banana Muffins

When I saw this recipe for a purely fruit sweetened carrot cake from Heidi over at 101cookbooks.com I just knew I would want to make it into some sort of gluten free version. So I did. http://www.elanaspantry.com/carrot-banana-muffins/ -- posted by Elana's Pantry

Pumpkin Bran Muffins

This is an adaptation of a muffin recipe I found. I reduced the flour and added flax seed for more fiber and omega-3's. I also added spices and pumpkin puree. These are a great fall treat, and convenient if you have leftover pumpkin (those cans are huge!) -- posted by BEmily

Cornmeal, Cranberry and Yogurt Muffins

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 Chef #314327

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

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Loaf

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:46:52 -0500

This is a variation of one of my favorite banana bread recipes (Banana-Oatmeal Bread, Recipe #100513) where I substituted pumpkin for the bananas and added in a bit of spice and some chocolate chips, because pumpkin and chocolate are so delicious together. My thanks to Vino Girl for the original recipe. I like to line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper so I can be sure it slides out easily. -- posted by zoo66
