Healthy Muffin Recipes

December 17, 2012 by overtimecook 10 Comments

Hey friends! Sorry, but I don’t have a new recipe for you today. Partly because I totally didn’t plan as well as I should have, partly because I spent too much time in the kitchen preparing for my family coming for for Chanukah, and partly because I spent a ton of time working on magazine and article deadlines. In short, I’m burnt out. (What, it happens!)

I do, however, want to share something with you folks. I’ve been getting a ton of requests and questions on my healthy muffin recipes. Honestly, these are delicious. They’re moist, flavorful and have a fabulous texture. Honestly. And because these recipes have been posted long before most of you found my blog, I figured a lot of you might have missed them. So here goes:

Honestly Healthy Double Chocolate Chip Muffins:
These are the muffins that started it all. Emboldened by the success and popularity of these muffins, I created all kinds of new flavors! A dieting chocolate lover’s dream.

Healthy Orange Carrot Muffins:
The carrot in these muffins makes you feel extra healthy, and the orange provides a nice burst of freshness. I suddenly realized that I haven’t made these in WAY too long!

Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins:
I know, peanut butter and chocolate don’t sound like a healthy combination. But honestly, these muffins aren’t high fat, but they’re certainly high in flavor.

Healthy Butternut Squash Streusel Muffins:
Nothing says fall quite like butternut squash (or sub pumpkin if you prefer) and it lends an amazing texture to these fabulous muffins. The streusel pushes of over the top!

Healthy Strawberry Banana Muffins:
Favorite smoothie flavor. In a muffin. It’s perfection. No joke.

There was supposed to be another variety of muffin on this list, but my memory card swallowed the pictures. They’ll be up here eventually!

And one more thing I want to point you towards is my newly updated recipe index. I spent hours last week updating it to make it easy to find whatever recipes you might be looking for, so have a look and get cooking!

    I have been looking for healthy muffin recipes. My search can no end. This page has been bookmarked and after the holidays, when all healthy eating will start I think I will try the orange carrot muffins first!

    These are just what I was looking for! I’ve already tried the chocolate and the orange carrot muffins. I’m going to make a batch (or a few 😉 to keep on hand when I need a nosh. Made in mini muffin tins, these make the perfect snack!

    I love this healthy muffins roundup. I usually am inspired around the holidays to bake muffins for some odd reason.:) Happy belated Chanukah and Happy Holidays! 🙂

    The peanut butter muffins don’t have oil in the ingredient list. Is that a mistake? All ur other muffin recipes have 1/4 cup

      Not a mistake. These have peanut butter as the fat instead of oil.

    Hi Miriam, I have a question on the healthy mocha recipe in the something sweet cookbook.
    One of the ingredients is a half a cup strong coffee. Does this mean a half a cup instant coffee granules, or 1 T coffee diluted in say half cup of water? My friend and I couldn’t decide.
    Thanks
    They are delicious
