healthy muffin ingredients

Here’s what you need: Flour, sugar, baking powder, milk of your choice, salt, pure vanilla extract, white vinegar, oil or almond butter, or a low-fat substitute.

What kind of flour? We have successfully tried muffins with oat flour, spelled flour, or any white or gluten-free all-purpose flour. If you’d like to try a blend, or almond flour, be sure to report back with your results.

Can I use non-dairy milk? that’s right. Almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, or oat milk work well. For best results, do not use rice milk.

What are your sweetener options? Try regular sugar, coconut sugar, date sugar, or evaporated cane juice. For unsweetened muffins, opt for granulated erythritol or monk fruit blend. If you’d like to use maple syrup, honey, or another liquid sweetener, make the flourless blender muffins below.

Are the muffins oil free? The recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of oil, but you can substitute the same amount of almond butter, banana, regular or Greek yogurt, and applesauce for fat-free muffins. Alternatively, use vegetable, canola, sunflower, or coconut oil.

Serving and Storage Tips

Try using peanut or cashew butter, raspberry jam, basic glaze, vegan cream cheese, mashed bananas, or coconut butter to spread healthy muffins.

This recipe is also delicious topped with my favorite homemade Nutella recipe.

After baking, I like to let the muffins cool completely before covering them loosely with a cloth or paper towel overnight on the counter.

You can reheat healthy muffins by slicing them in half, adding butter, honey, agave, or your choice of toppings, and toasting in a regular or toaster oven.

To store leftover muffins after a day, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for 4 to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

How to make healthy muffins for breakfast or snack

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line each cup of the muffin tin with a cupcake liner or spray the tin with an oil spray.

Whisk together the first four ingredients (liquid ingredients) in a large bowl. Then mix the dry ingredients to make the muffin dough. If it’s too dry, just add a little milk of your choice.

I like to stir the dry ingredients in a separate bowl first to get an even mix, but you can also make it a one-bowl muffin recipe if you prefer.

Time-saving tips: Mix the dry ingredients together a few days, or weeks in advance, and store the muffin mix in a container or large ziplock until you use it.

Scoop batter evenly into each tin muffin cup. Add toppings and enjoy. See above for flavor ideas. Or create your own flavor and have fun.

Bake on center rack of oven for 22 minutes. A healthy pastry should be domed when removed with a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin.

Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from can. If left very loosely covered overnight, the muffin liner will come off easily the next day.
