Default Healthy muffin recipes for breakfast

Can anyone share genuinely healthy breakfast muffin recipes, please? Ones with very little sugar, sugar substitutes or preferably no sugar and a good flour. And no ingredients like chocolate chips. Thanks!

Googling comes up with things that I don't want to eat at breakfast time.

I used to make these often: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recip...muffins-recipe They're really yummy. I make them even healthier, I cut back way on the sugar and have also used honey and left out the oj, use unsweetened coconut, coconut oil, flax seed in place of wheat bran, etc.

I would think you could substitute honey for agave 1:1... Not sure about the yogurt question.

For the morning glory muffin, personally I would google a different recipe that was designed to use whole wheat flour. There are a lot of Morning Glory muffin recipes out there. I just did and saw that Whole Foods has one, as does allrecipes.com. That way you can find one to try that fits the ingredients you have.

Haven't looked at the recipes, you should be able to google for a honey to agave conversion, I've had success with that in the past, but don't remember where I found it.

I'd replace soy yogurt with regular yogurt, sounds like the substitutions are keeping it still dairy free. In my experience, you want to replace a cultured product (and I assume that soy yogurt is still cultured?) with a cultured product, so if you don't want to use regular yogurt you could replace it with sour cream (but that might affect flavor?) or buttermilk. The cultures help with the rising though, so if you replace yogurt with milk you're going to get a less fluffy end product.

No clue on the flours.

I've liked the muffins (and most other recipes) I've tried from the Heavenly Homemaker site http://heavenlyhomemaker.com/ They're healthy in a Nourishing Traditions style, so use natural sweeteners instead of refined sugar, and healthy fats, whole grains. But if you're looking for low fat, no sweeteners, they're not going to appeal to you.

Here's an oat bran muffins with banana (and no sugar):
http://www.food.com/recipe/banana-oa...d-sugar-113840

And here's a more basic WW muffin with banana:
http://bob-ewing.hubpages.com/hub/No...Muffins-Recipe

I've found that most basic muffin recipes are pretty flexible AFA subbing WW flour, adding wheat germ, reducing sugar and subbing honey or mashed bananas, etc. I like to experiment, and don't mind slightly heavy/dense results, though.

There should be a sub. ratio online for sugar to agave. I used soy milk instead of yogurt so I assume regular milk would work.

Default Re: Healthy muffin recipes for breakfast

subbing.

And this thread spurred me to pull out one of my cookbooks to try a new (to me) overnight raisin bran muffins ...all mixed up and the recipe says that the batter will last for up to 6 weeks! I am not sure if it could be easily modified to a low sugar recipe - I will have to taste the original recipe first and then try to alter it next go round. (That is my approach anyways). I am in a breakfast rut right now where I need to do something new but still semi healthy!

I was trying to make gf banana muffins once and was so distracted I forgot the sugar and the egg. Used all rice flour, plus a couple teaspoons ground flax seed.
They tasted great! simplyrecipes.com has a good general banana muffin recipe.

I think flax seed is sometimes used as a vegan sub for egg.

Since then, I purposefully make banana muffins (any type flour) without sugar or eggs and no one has noticed.

Still tons of natural sugar from the bananas, but unless the muffin is savory, it needs some sweetness.
