I went on a search for a healthy muffin recipe, but they all seemed to contain butter or sugar of some variety, white flour etc.
After a bit of research and trial and error, I've came up with a cracking healthy muffin recipe that produces delicious, sweet, extremely light and fluffy muffins without the guilt.
These muffins won't spike your blood sugar or make you fat and come in at around 250 cals per muffin. I also wanted a complete meal as such, perfect for breakfast... With a combination of protein, carbs and fats.
They use wholemeal flour for slow release energy to keep you going, no ups and downs of white flour.
Anyway... For those that don't care (I'm guessing you do otherwise you would just eat regular muffins) here's the recipe.
150g decent wholemeal flour (I used Allinsons)
180ml skimmed milk
2tbsp flavourless vegetable oil (I used groundnut)
3-4 tbsp of organic natural peanut butter (make sure there's no added sugar)
3-4tbsp Agave (it's like honey, 100% natural but doesn't spike blood sugar the way honey does... Low GI but very sweet)
1.5tsp baking powder
Sprinkling of cinnamon
Weigh the flour into a bowl (don't bother with sifting it)
Pour milk in
Add other ingredients in any order
Mix, but don't beat it.
Spoon into muffin cases and bake for 20mins or so at 180c
Feel free to add mashed banana or frozen blueberries or raspberries for a fruity hit and different flavour.
Recipe makes 6 muffins.
They're ready when they spring back when you press the top. Finish them off with squeezing some agave over the top and an extra sprinkling of cinnamon if you wish.
These are suitable for diabetics.
Contains, no butter, sugar, eggs or white flour and yet still produce a decent muffin. Don't take my word for it, give it a go. You can get Agave in the supermarket. I used biona organic dark. If you can't get it. Just use Honey.
Hope you enjoy!
