I've always liked blueberry muffins and raisin bran muffins.
Yeah raisin bran muffins, or Bran muffins with CRAN Raisins
I also enjoy pumpkin or zucchini bread made into muffins.
Yummy!
I like the banana nut one.
Omg applesauce muffins u can find the recipe on google there so simple and great!i still remember when i was in 6th grade we made them in life skills lolz.
My favorite muffins are usually either strawberry or apple cinnamon. I love to go to my favorite coffee shop in the mornings and enjoy a muffin with specialty coffee. Yum!!! Have a Blessed day! :)
This is fairly healthy, and a favorite with my in-laws. Since I need all the help I can get with them, I make these often! (haha!)
You can play with the spices, of course, depending on what you like. Hope you enjoy.
Spicy Orange/Carrot/Bran Muffins (makes 12)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup natural bran
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup black currants
1 Tbsp grated orange peel
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup oil (I use Jarrow's Organic Coconut Oil. It does NOT taste like coconut. Has a very neutral flavor. If you buy the VIRGIN coconut oil, it has a coconut taste.)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
*optional...add 1/2 cup chopped nuts
1. Blend together in large bowl flour, bran, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, carrots, currants or raisins and orange peel. Stir in chopped nuts, if using.
2. In second bowl, beat buttermilk, oil, egg and vanilla.
3. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients and mix just until moistened.
4. Spoon into 12 greased or paper-lined muffin cups.
5. Bake at 375 F for 20 min. or until done.
Make sure to use an oven thermometer, because ovens often don't register correct temperatures.
