Carrot Zucchini Muffins

Well, I'm sad to report that my recent Whole Wheat Zucchini Muffins, which I said may be perfect, are not - while I still stand by the deliciousness and healthfulness claims, they have the fatal flaw of being completely rejected by the munchkin. And while hubby thought it was good news that there would be … Continue reading Carrot Zucchini Muffins →

Whole Wheat Zucchini Muffins

I have very stringent criteria when it comes to muffin recipes - because I like to always have muffins on hand in my freezer as a wholesome snack for my whole family, I'll generally only make ones that are actually healthy.

Banana Wheat Germ Muffins Revisited

Back in December, I made Banana Wheat Germ Muffins from Weelicious. The were delicious, but my only complaint was that they didn't contain 100% whole grains - there was a cup of all purpose flour along with the cup of wheat germ.

Whole Grain Overload – Pancakes and Granola Muffins

As you know, last weekend I made corn bread muffins which contain buttermilk in them. The problem with buttermilk is that you can't buy less than a quart, and I've yet to see a recipe that uses more than a cup and a half, which inevitably means leftovers. Well, tonight I found not one, but … Continue reading Whole Grain Overload – Pancakes and Granola Muffins →
