Healthy Muffin Recipe

In trying to be successful at “sugar-free”, you may have found that what helps the most are fabulous “go-to”  recipes that fit your lifestyle and are perfect for all occasions. Keeping up a healthy diet needs reinforcement, no matter how long you’ve been practicing sugar-free alternatives. These healthy and simple muffins are a great treat to add to your rotation.

If you’re beginning to incorporate sugar-free foods into your diet, transitioning into heartier, healthier foods like these muffins can help. These are packed with staple ingredients like applesauce and bananas to help sweetened without adding a lot of other sweeteners to the recipe. Hearty oats and wheat flour keep this recipe nice and filling. Half the battle with staying sugar-free is making sure you don’t go hungry. These muffins will surely help with that!

We love the taste and texture of these nutrient packed muffins. They make the perfect snack muffin or “grab and go” muffin. Be sure to top them with coconut oil, jams, raw honey or a little extra sprinkle of cinnamon when you’re home to enjoy them. Kid-approved and delicious as can be!

Super Healthy Muffins

Serves: 20 Muffins
Enjoy these oil-free, sugar-free muffins packed with protein, whole grains, fruits & veggies!

2 Large Bananas
1 1/2 cups Finely grated Zucchini (about 1 zucchini)
1 1/2 cups Unsweetened Applesauce
2 Large Organic Eggs
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 teaspoons Stevia Extract
1 1/2 cups Fresh Ground Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup Oatmeal
2 1/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
2 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
1/2 cup Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
Optional: 1/2 cup Walnuts

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with liners and spray with cooking oil.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the bananas, zucchini, applesauce, eggs, and extracts. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, including the coconut and walnuts if using.
  3. Add the dry to the wet and fold in until just combined. Please do not over mix. Pour batter into the prepared muffin liners until full. You will get about 20-21 muffins. Bake muffins for 15-16 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  4. Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Store muffins in an airtight container on the kitchen counter for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 4 weeks.

    Is zucchini used freshly grated or allowed to stand in a colander briefly to drain excess liquid, which will affect consistency? Thanks!

      Hi Karen, It needs to be drained briefly or you can pat it dry with a paper towel just so it’s not dripping wet. Thanks for asking!
