My Favorite Muffin Recipes

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!

  1. 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!
