Muffins. Most muffins are too much like cake for me. They seem more like a treat than breakfast. I like hearty for breakfast. Nutritious helps. Foods like homemade granola with plain yogurt, oatmeal made with steel cut oats, hot cereals made with a multi-grain cereal or a whole grain slice of toast with some delicious jam or fruit spread on it. These are the types of breakfast foods that make me feel good and gets me going. Of all the muffins I have made and tried, Morning Glory Muffins are presently my favorite. How can you really go wrong with a name like that?!
I searched for the healthiest Morning Glory Muffin recipe I could find and then started tweaking. I am very happy with the results and am sad to say not one made it to the freezer. Nutrient dense recipes that taste good become staples in my recipe files. I like the phrase "nutrient dense". It is a concept we can all live by, literally.
Chunky, Healthy and Delicious.
Even though I love hearty, healthy recipes, I do want to be true to what foods are suppose to be. Cookies are supposed to taste like cookies, cakes taste like cakes and so on. Healthy only goes so far and then the recipe is nothing like it is supposed to be or something else entirely. I am not willing to give up all purpose flour or white sugar because they have their place in baking when you are trying to achieve a certain texture and/or taste which for me is also important.
