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!

Chris, how could I incorporate coconut flour into this recipe? tx.

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 :)

Has anyone made this in the oven? I am not a microwave fan.
Chris Freytag on August 15, 2017 at 12:18 PM
We've never tried it in the oven but let us know if you do!

Just a quick correction. This is not a low carb muffin. As a diabetic I can tell you right now this muffin counts as one full exchange since it is too close to 15 gr of carbohydrate to count as 1/2 an exchange. Other than that it is a really good and healthy recipe, especially since it offers an alternative to chemical sugar substitutes. Yay team!! <3

I make these muffins at least once a week for my husband and myself. I absolutely love them. Very satisfying and not overly sweet like bakery muffins.

Ididnt have flax seed so I used 100 o/o natural wheat bran ..with lots of blueberries .Turn out well , its good just not great ...but will do again

I just made it with blueberries and walnuts. Taste is great but it was dry. Wondering if it's the difference in microwave power? I'm going to add applesauce next time. Definitely a keeper!
