Updated on Aug 16, 2013

In my quest to feed myself and my family with healthier food options...I started making these muffins. My son and grandson were always grabbing a granola bar and a banana on the way out the door. I decided they needed a better breakfast without all the preservatives and empty calories. They now eat these most mornings and it keeps them satisfied until lunch..and I feel good about what they are eating. I enjoy them as well and like that they have less gluten, sugar, and bad fats. Enjoy!

How To Make dee's healthy breakfast muffins

  • Step 1
    Place all wet ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let mix while measuring the dry ingredients. Turn mixer to low and add flour mixture. Mix until combined. Add nuts, fruit, chocolate chips, craisins, etc if desired.
  • Step 2
    Scoop into lined muffin tins about 3/4 full. top with sliced almonds, sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon sugar. Spray tops with Pam or coconut non stick spray (found it at Trader Joe's)
  • Step 3
    Bake for 20-25 minutes. Serve warm plain or with low fat cream cheese and cold. We love them both ways. Enjoy!
  • Step 4
    NOTE: If you are not watching your gluten intake, you can substitute gluten free flour for white whole wheat flour or ?. I would still use the almond and coconut flour tho because of the health factor.
