Making Jumbo Breakfast Muffins Healthy
A typical muffin includes all-purpose flour, heaps of sugar, and loads of oil. These muffins are a game-changer. Healthy Jumbo Breakfast Muffins have whole-grain flour to help keep you full, longer. Yogurt provides added protein and elevated flavor and minimal amounts of brown sugar and vegetable oil. Not to mention there is three cups of fruits and veggies!
Feel good that you are feeding your kids well, and it’s something they’ll actually eat!
These savory muffins are perfect with a smear of butter or cream cheese and eaten during your morning rush!
Breakfast Muffin Ingredients
One look at the ingredient list and you’re probably telling yourself you need to make a trip to the grocery store. I get it. It looks quite long. Really, you likely have most in your kitchen already!
If you want to stick to the recipe and use whole wheat flour the trip will be worth it! This is a simple flour change that will add to your daily fiber intake!
If you’re looking for another reason to make these consider it meal prep. Make a batch and you have a work week of breakfasts ready to go (plus an extra to have as they come out of the oven!).
Now you are looking through your cupboards for a jumbo muffin tin. If you come up empty you can find a perfectly good tin under $7 right from Amazon! It’s even on Prime AKA you’ll be on your way to making jumbo muffins in just 2 days.
Fruit and Veggie Substitutions
Don’t have carrots, zucchini, or apple on hand? That’s okay! These muffins are easily customizable! Use and fruit and or veggie that are not overly juicy and you would enjoy, just make sure you remove all the moisture as best as you can before adding them to the batter!
For example, I would avoid using cucumber or grapes. Their high moisture content would result in a muffin that is lacking in structure.
