Healthy Honey Wheat Muffins Recipes

HEALTHY BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If necessary, grease all 12 cups on your muffin tin with butter, coconut oil or cooking spray (my pan is non-stick and doesn't require any grease).
• In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups of the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix them together with a whisk.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oil and honey or maple syrup and beat together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then add the yogurt and vanilla. Mix well. (If the coconut oil solidifies in contact with cold ingredients, gently warm the mixture in the microwave in 30 second bursts.)
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a big spoon, just until combined (a few lumps are ok). In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the remaining 1 teaspoon flour (this helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom). Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. The mixture will be thick, but don't worry.
• Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups (I used an ice cream scoop with a wire level, which worked perfectly). Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with turbinado sugar. Bake the muffins for 16 to 19 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
• Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool. You might need to run a butter knife along the outer edge of the muffins to loosen them from the pan. If you have leftover muffins, store them, covered, at room temperature for 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze leftover muffins for up to 3 months.

HEALTHY HONEY WHEAT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Lightly coat 6 muffin tin cups with cooking spray.
• In a small bowl, mix together the milk, egg white, honey, butter or margarine and applesauce.
• In a medium bowl, combine crumbled cereal, flours, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Add the liquid ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Add the raisins & stir gently.
• Spoon into muffin cups, 3/4 full or more.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they test done. Don't overbake.

PUMPKIN WHEAT HONEY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12 cup muffin pan, or line with paper liners. Place the raisins in a cup, and add enough hot water to cover. Let stand for a few minutes to plump.
• In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center, and put in eggs, pumpkin, oil and honey. Mix just until the dry ingredients are absorbed. Drain excess water from raisins, and stir in along with the walnuts. Spoon into muffin cups so they are about 2/3 full.
• Bake for 18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the tops spring back when lightly touched. Cool in the pan before removing from cups.

WHOLE WHEAT HONEY BANANA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Stir together dry ingredients.
• Beat oil and honey together; add eggs and beat well.
• Add bananas and beat to combine.
• Add dry ingredients to wet, alternating with hot water; mix well after each addition.
• Spoon batter into 24 greased muffin cups; bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes, or until muffins are golden brown and test done.
• Remove from oven and cool on rack.
