PW: muffin recipes

6fsn

After watching my kids chow on crappy blueberry muffins I thought I'd try to find a decent recipe.  I hate the pinterest really doesn't have reviews and I've been burned a lot lately.  With that, anyone have a decent recipe for blueberry or anything semi healthy?  Bonus points if I can make it mini sized.

I haven't tried this, but Clean Eating almost always has good dessert recipes.  I like the evaporated can sugar too, b/c it's a good sweet:  http://www.cleaneatingmag.com/Recipes/Recipe/Blueberry-Crumble-Muffins.aspx

hhhhmmm, that's a lot of things I don't already have.  Where do you get cane juice and what else do you use it in?  I'm willing to try it, but I like to have a few uses for something before purchasing.

I think you can use it in most baking and that it can be purchased at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, but it might also be at Publix or Jungle Jim's or something.

I can get it at my regular grocery store in the baking aisle.  It's not actually liquid, it looks like crystalized brown sugar:  https://www.google.com/search?q=evaporated+cane+juice&hl=en&rlz=1C1PRFB_enUS452US452&biw=1511&bih=714&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=zQFoUfHIF7KEygHSTg&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ

But you can just substitute sugar for it.  I usually use brown sugar or honey.

ahhhh.  I've seen that.  If it's reasonably priced I'll give it a whirl.

Compared to brown sugar or honey,it is NOT reasonably priced.

I do like it though.  It's just another form of sugar, but I've always liked that rawer flavor.  We used it to make granola and it was OMG good in granola.

The reason why that recipe jumped out at me was the buttermilk.  I tend to love buttermilk in baked goods.  IDK if it's be too spicy for the kids though?

I think they'd be fine with it.  We make buttermilk pancakes.  If they don't like it and I do tough.  I like buttermilk things.

I have another muffin recipe with flax seed and all sorts of healthy things they like.  It's just a huge recipe and I'm tired of it.

I love these dang things:

Before I went diary free for a month and completely ruined my stomach by trying to eat dairy again, I wanted to make muffins with Chobani yogurt in place of the butter and oil (I think) - there's a pinterest about subbing Chobani for things.    

^^^^not much help^^^^^

I just pinned this one.  I haven't tried it yet, but it looks pretty easy and relatively healthy.

Notamrs, I'm intrigued.  Someone else is going to need to try it first though.

I put spinach in my smoothies all the time and you really can't taste it.  I just bought strawberries last night, so maybe I'll try them this weekend and report back.
