My picky daughter will eat nearly anything in muffin form. So, I've tried a lot of muffin recipes. I like my muffins fairly healthy but not healthy tasting, you know what I mean? When I find a recipe I like, I make a bunch at a time, freeze them, and pull them out when needed. They are an easy breakfast, lunch or snack option.
Here's a round-up of my favorite muffin recipes.
Blueberry
I used 2% milk because that's what we buy and they turn out just great.
Sweet Potato
I replace the vegetable oil with coconut oil and cook my sweet potato in the microwave - piercing it with a fork and cooking on high for 8 minutes.
Morning Glory
I use 3/4 cup sugar, unsweetened apple sauce instead of apple butter, and skip the nut and wheat germ topping. Sometimes I add the wheat germ into the batter.
Coffee Cake
Not exactly healthy but oh so good. I found this in my Baking Illustrated Cookbook (love this book!).
Do you have a favorite muffin recipe? If so, please share!
I will have to try your faves out. This banana chocolate chip oatmeal muffin is our favorite: http://stlcooks.com/2014/01/banana-chocolate-chip-oatmeal-bread/. Instead of butter, I use coconut oil. I usually sub Greek yogurt for buttermilk since I almost always have Greek yogurt. I also like to add vanilla extract & spice it up by adding in some "chai" spices like ground ginger, cloves, & cardamom. It's a hit!
