Healthy Berry Muffins Recipes

HEALTHIER TO DIE FOR BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
• Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup butter, cinnamon in a small bowl with a fork until mixture resembles a coarse crumb.
• Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, and baking powder in a bowl. Place applesauce into a 1 cup measuring cup; add egg and enough milk to fill cup; mix into flour mixture. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes.

BLUEBERRY OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Combine milk and oats. Set aside for 20 minutes so the oats puff up and soak up some moisture. This is crucial to the recipe! (I usually melt the butter now so it has a few minutes to cool.) Don't do this the night before as that's too long for soaking. If you find the oats haven't soaked up any moisture after 20 minutes, give it a stir and wait 10 more minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or use cupcake liners.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl until combined. Set aside. Whisk the melted butter, honey, egg, and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stir a few times, then add the soaked oats (milk included, do not drain) and blueberries. Fold everything together gently just until combined.
• Spoon the batter into liners, filling them all the way to the top. Top with oats and a light sprinkle of coconut sugar, if desired. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake for an additional 16-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total time these muffins take in the oven is about 22-23 minutes, give or take. (For mini muffins, bake 11-13 minutes at 350°F (177°C).) Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
• Muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days, then transfer to the fridge for up to 1 week.

MIXED BERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Line a 12-count muffin tin with cupcake liners and preheat oven to 400˚F. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 2 eggs with 1 cup granulated sugar on high speed 5 minutes, or until thick and light in color.
• Add 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup oil, 1 tsp vanilla. Set mixer to low speed and mix just until combined.
• In a small bowl, add 2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt and whisk to combine. Using a hand held whisk, add flour mixture into the batter 1/3 at a time, stirring to incorporate with each addition. DO NOT OVERMIX or muffins will be dense.
• Use a spatula to fold in 1 1/2 cups mixed berries, folding just until combined.
• Divide batter into prepared muffin tip, filling to the top or until all of the batter is used up. Bake in the center of the oven at 400˚F for 20-22 minutes or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center come out clean. Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

TRIPLE BERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in berries. , Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 375° for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm.
