Easy Healthy Muffin Recipe

Prep Time: ten minutes

Bake Time: twenty to 30 minutes

Yield: 8-12 muffins

This basic simple healthy muffin recipe can be varied in plenty of ways. You can leave them plain, add in a cup or so of your favourite fruit & fine-tune the amount of sugar to fit your tastes. In case you prefer larger muffins, distribute the batter among 8 of the muffin cups & pour 1/4 cup water in to the empty cups to prevent them from buckling.

These muffins demand a minimal amount of overweight - three tablespoons for the whole batch. You can replace all the overweight with a fruit puree such as applesauce, in case you prefer, but that makes them rubbery for my tastes.
