Recipe: Easy, Healthy Muffin (In a Minute)
Breakfast Recipes, Pre + Post Workout Recipes, Snack Recipes
I’ve always loved muffins but most are loaded with sugar and flour. This healthy muffin in a minute recipe is quick, easy, very low carb and high in fiber. It’s delicious for breakfast, snack or even dessert.
Expert Tips
- Looking for a savory variation? Substitute out the sweetener and add in shredded cheese, chopped veggies, and spices (dill is yummy) to pair alongside salads or soups.
- This muffin is keto-friendly! While a small amount of blueberries are okay on the keto diet, you can always skip them and just use nuts and seeds for add-ins to keep it even lower in carbs.
- This tasty muffin is also gluten-free and dairy-free!

Absolutely love this recipe! So easy and filling! I add walnuts, pumpkin seeds, chia seed, unsweetened coconut flakes and blueberries, perfection!

Hey guys. Well I made three times the mix in a silicon muffin tray, came out good, cooked a bit longer, but I found them a bit heavy, def not sweet. So next I made a mug one, Half flaxseed and half coconut flour,, lemon zest, blueberry and a few flaked almonds,, yummo. Very filling. Will try the savoury one next!!

The confusion of the woman who thought it was a TBL spoon was that the tsp was in capital letters in the video which is generally not in caps in reference to a recipe. I have to always laugh when people change the recipe. I made it and love it as is! Especially since i am trying to get the sugar out of my diet! Thanks

Do we grease the cup with a spritz of oil!

Chris, how could I incorporate coconut flour into this recipe? tx.
Chris Freytag on April 16, 2020 at 1:57 PM
Hi there! I've never used coconut flour in this recipe so I'm not sure how it would work. Let me know if you try it!

Actually, I did choke. It was pretty scary. I don't eat fruit (diabetic severely sensitive to carbs) so I'm not going to be making this again, but it tasted pretty good. A little spongy and eggy for me.

Made today for the first time. I added walnuts, blueberries, a dash of ginger and a dash of nutmeg. I didn't have stevia so I used truvia, but it was not sweet enough. I ate it with a little apricot preserve to make up for the lack of sweetness, and it was great! I will definitely make this again. Sent the recipe to my daughter who is a vegetarian.

I noticed the video of making the muffin said 1 T of olive oil but the listed recipe says 1 t. I made it with one tablespoon and it is not trust all.
Chris Freytag on November 20, 2017 at 8:55 AM
Hi Jodi - we just checked the video and sorry that there was some confusion. The video does say 1 TSP (not TBSP) so it matches the recipe. Sorry about that but it shold work better with 1 teaspoon :)
