Cinnamon Muffins Recipes

Reduced fat and sugar. The best for snack or breakfast

I make these for my family and they love them. They are high in fat so I limit myself to 1 or 2 from the batch. I also make a cream chz. icing for my family but I don't touch it.

If you do not have an electric mixer do not seperate eggs just mix the whole egg with the milk. Seperating just makes the muffins light and fluffy.

Also you can aliminate the brown sugar mix if it is not to your liking they will still come out great or add pecans or walnut to the Brown sugar mix.
(you will need to recalculate calories if you alter the recipe)

A low calorie, low fat yummy muffin with chunks of apple. These are really sweet so you may want to decrease the amount of Splenda.

Vegans crave sweets, too! Here's a vegan-friendly recipe for healthy, whole wheat muffins that are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth, vegan or not. Dairy-free, and more importantly, guilt-free!

Delicious and easy dukan muffin recipe i ran across on the internet.

These deliciously healthy muffins are full of wholesome ingredients and sweetened with honey!

I credit this recipe with saving my diet! And each muffin only contains about 5g of Net Carbs (net carbs is total carbs - fiber.)

So delicious! Uses processed sugar - can sub organic if needed or just omit the topping. Although then, these would not be "donut" muffins.

These whole wheat muffins are satisfying and delish!
The use of coconut oil makes them super healthy. Don't be fooled by the amount of fat, as long as you are within your limits for the day, a little coconut oil is very good for you!

Delicious with a cup of tea. You can reduce the calories (and carbs by using Splenda or another sugar substitute but increase to 3/4 cup)

Light muffins with just a hint of orange and cinnamon. Perfect for breakfast or brunch.

High fibre, great tasting muffin!

Its always moist and delicious with rivers of cinnamon goodness running throughout this creation.

Very soft, chunky, chewy muffins that are a little sweet but not overly so. I think you cannot tell the difference between the flax and a good whole-wheat flour, but my husband says that they have a little bit of a stronger taste. I think that the flax substitutes for the wheat perfectly, but he says he can tell, but still likes them. Everybody's different, so try them out and see for yourself!

There are multiple variations on a theme that you could make with these muffins, depending on whether you're just going gluten-free or also trying to reduce your sugars. The full recipe (all optional ingredients) makes each muffin 155.1 kcal (6.3 g fiber, 7.6 g sugars). If you're wanting to reduce your carbs, without the turbinado sugar you drop to 147.6 kcal (6.3 g fiber, 5.6 g sugars). By dropping sugar + fresh apple + raisins, you drop down to 128.9 kcal (5.9 g fiber, 2.0 g sugars). This recipe is very flexible and you can easily add or take away any ingredients you want. I also make this same recipe with bananas instead of the applesauce and apple chunks, but add a little olive oil to keep them moist.

Be careful about over-baking these muffins. I often bake them until the toothpick comes out clean (~20 minutes), but they will still be a bit soggy on the inside because of the apple chunks. I refrigerate them overnight, and then microwave for 1-1.5 minutes when I want to eat them, which finishes baking the insides. I get a soft, piping hot muffin that goes great with my morning coffee and a couple of eggs!

Note that if you want a nut that will stay crunchy, substitute a harder nut like walnuts or pecans for sliced almonds. I like that they get a little chewy, but you may not.

Gluten free, dairy free and delicious!

High Protein, Low Carb Mini Muffins

As a nutrition major and girlfriend to a man with a bonafide chocolate and sugar addiction, I am realizing that though I can eat chia seeds and broccoli all day long, the average Joe needs healthy eating to be packaged a tad more sneakily. Is "sneakily" a word? Word or not, these little protein packed ninjas are officially boyfriend approved! So sneak 'em past those meat and potato appetites. Your waist lines will thank you. :)

It’s hard to find a recipe for a low carb muffin that actually tastes good. For this reason, I created the Cinnamon-Chia Muffins! They have a delightful and mild nut and bean flavor with a light texture – as well as the added bonus of nutritional benefits! The 2 tablespoons of ground chia seeds give the muffins its voluminous quality – and makes them super healthy. Chia means “strength” in the Mayan language and the Aztec warriors received great energy and stamina by eating these seeds. Today’s distance runners use it for its endurance qualities. These muffins are also made with soy flour, giving them a high protein content which helps build and maintain muscles. You also get a BIG muffin for 9.9 carbs with over 50% of the carbs coming from fiber! Fiber makes us feel full sooner and stays in our stomach longer! The best benefit of all is that fiber moves FAT through our digestive system faster which means we absorb less FAT.

If you like variety, the Cinnamon-Chia Muffins are great to have on hand for breakfast or snacks – and even dessert. My favorite way to eat them is by gently pulling out serving bites – piece by piece, starting at the top. The muffins freeze and warm up perfectly!

My boys' favorite breakfast muffin

Found this recipe from Carole Reu on Food.com, and made some adjustments. It called for Bisquick and I had just made a batch of this Homemade Multi-Purpose Baking mix on Sparkpeople. Its made with half whole wheat and half white flour. My husband never gets excited about anything I bake, But he did try one of these last night and demanded that I put 2 in with his lunch today. Made me feel so good I made another batch.
