Easy Healthy Muffin Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Bake Time: 20 to 30 minutes

Yield: 8-12 muffins

This basic easy healthful muffin recipe may be varied in a large total of ways. You may leave them plain, add in a cup or so of your favored fruit and adjust the amount of sugar to suit your tastes. If you prefer larger muffins, disseminate the batter among 8 of the muffin cups and pour 1/4 cup water into the empty cups to prevent them from buckling.

These muffins call for a minimal amount of fat – just 3 tablespoons for the entire batch. You may replace all the fat with a fruit puree such as applesauce, if you prefer, but that makes them too rubbery for my tastes.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole grain pastry flour

1/4 cup sugar, or to taste

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 huge egg

3 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter

1 cup milk, plus more if needed

optional additions below

Recipe Instructions

Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and heat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a frequent 12-cup (2-1/2-inch) muffin pan or line the cups with paper liners.

In a big bowl, whisk tougher the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together the egg, vegetable oil, milk and any optional ingredients (such as 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries).

Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined and moistened. (The batter must still be lumpy and thick, but moist. If the batter seems too arid add a little more milk.)

Distribute the batter evenly amidst the muffin cups.

Bake until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, when it comes to 20 minutes (30 minutes for more prominent muffins).

Remove from the oven and let the muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them out of the pan and onto a wire rack to cool completely. Or take pleasure in warm.

Read 500 reviews, get confused as hell, pass out and by this in the morning!
By Lauren Masci
I bought this muffin tin to go with the bakeware set and have used it a few times so far and love it. The material is very stick resistant, easy to clean and dishwasher safe. The overall weight is good and though the brand is far less expensive than others the quality is not lacking which I was worried about. My only complain is the seams around each muffin cup, these may be unavoidable but make cleaning take a little bit longer. Also I am still a little up in the air about how healthy it is to cook in aluminum but since these are for baking occassionaly and not made out of rust-prone steel, they seemed to be the best option. After much research this is the best product I found at Williams Sonoma, Bed Bath and Beyond, Kohls, Target, online and at grocery stores. This is the muffin pan to buy, very similar to what you find in professional kitchens.

LOVE IT!!!
By mamapida
I have used this muffin pan a few times and absolutely love it! I haven’t had to scrape the muffins out after they cooked (like with my other muffin pans) and it washes well in the dishwasher. I’ll make muffins a lot more often because this pan is so great!

Only used twice, but great so far
By JR
Got this just in time for my son’s birthday, and they worked out well. I’ve only used the pan twice so far, but it appears to be sturdy to last a long time.
