Does anyone have any healthy muffin recipes you would like to share? (I stole this idea from the quick breafast idea thread.) It is a great idea for me to make on the weekends and individually freeze for consumption throughout the week. However my idea of making muffins is using a boxed mix that is not very healthy. Please share some recipes!! Thanks!!

Hi Kristi,
I have a recipe for muffins made from Kashi Good Friends cereal.
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1-3/4 cups Kashi Good Friends Cereal
3/4 cup skim milk, rice or soy (I used reg. skim milk and they came out just fine)
1/4 cup honey
2 egg whites
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 medium ripe banana, mashed
non stick cooking spray
In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine Kashi Good Friends Cereal and milk and let stand for 2-3 minutes. Add the egg whites and beat well. Stir in applesauce, banana and honey. Add flour mixture and mix only until dry ingredients are moistened (over-mixing will produce rubbery muffins)
Fill sprayed muffin tins. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.

I don't know if they are healthy (possibly not) but there is a muffin that Starbucks has that is my favorite! I think it is called 12 grain, but I call it the birdseed muffin. It is loaded with seeds and nuts and it really looks like bird seed to me for some reason.
If there is a way to get that recipe and make it healthy if it needs to be altered somehow, I would be eternally thankful!

I have a couple of others that I have made a lot:
Strawberry muffins
1/2 cup ricotta cheese, part skim
1 whoe egg
1/4 + 2 Tbs. cup skim milk(I used carb countdown}
1/2 cup soy flour
3/4 cup wheat bran( I have also used oat bran)
1/2 tsp. lemon peel
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 T. melted unsalted butter or vegetable oil
1/2 cup splenda
approx. 1/4 cup smucker or other strawberry spreadable fruit or other flavor
Mix all ingredients except spreadable fruit together. Put some batter in bottom of muffin tin sprayed with cooking spray. Put a small amount of spreadable fruit in center and put more batter on top.
Should make 6 muffins. Bake 350 degrees for 25 minutes
119 cal; 7 gm. fat; 8 gm pro.; 9 gm. carbs; 4 gm fiber; 131 mg. sodium
Pumpkin Muffins
2/3 cup soy flour
1/4 cup wheat bran
2Tbs. flax seeds, ground
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup splenda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. all spice or cloves
1/8 tsp. ginger
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
2 eggs lightly beaten
1 tbs. canola oil
3 Tbs Heavy cream, this is lo carb so you could use skim milk
1/4 cup walnts chopped
Mix all ingredients together. If thick I add a little water but it should be fairly thick.
Bake 350 for 25 minutes
166 calories;13gm fat; 8 pro; 8 carb; 3 fiber; 105 sodium
Fat and carbs would be different if you used milk instead of cream.

Mariangeles,
I think the post for this recipe was asking for muffins or pancake recipes. This was a pancake recipe. It is thick enough that I bet it would work for muffins as well. I will have to try this I worked these recipes up for dh because he stays pretty much on a low carb diet.;-)
