Muffins make great breakfast food and snack food, and with these easy recipes, you can serve different muffins every day of the week.
Whenever I find myself with an abundance of fruit (blueberries and raspberries are perfect), I make muffins. Muffins are also perfect when you've got overripe fruit, like bananas, that you want to use quickly. If you want to give the kids a wholesome breakfast or snack that tastes great, muffins can be a terrific option for that, too. And muffins freeze well, too. Just store in an airtight container. I like to serve muffins straight from the oven, but if you can't do that, toast them or warm in the microwave.

Blueberry Muffins with Lemon Streusel Topping
Stephanie Gallagher
Lemon and blueberry are a natural flavor combination, and the pairing works beautifully in this recipe. If you have demerara sugar or turbinado sugar (both of which have larger crystals than granulated sugar), use that for the topping.
Whole Grain Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe

Natural oat bran and whole wheat flour add fiber to this wholesome muffin recipe. Serve these muffins with a smear of strawberry butter or one of my other flavored butter recipes.
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins
Stephanie Gallagher
These muffins taste like a decadent pumpkin cake with a cream cheese frosting, but they are actually quite healthy. The addition of bran cereal adds fiber to this recipe. Pumpkin is loaded with vitamin A, and these muffins have less sugar than many other muffin recipes.

These banana muffins are great on their own, but the walnut streusel topping really takes this recipe over the top. If you don't have walnuts on hand, feel free to use chopped pecans instead.

These muffins have all the great flavors of carrot cake, including carrots, coconut, walnuts and raisins. Coconut oil adds a hint of additional coconut flavor, but if you can't find it, feel free to use softened butter instead.

These are my favorite muffins to make for Christmas or New Year's brunch. There is just something about the flavors of lemon and cranberries that make the holidays come alive. You can make these muffins in a regular muffin tin or a mini muffin tin for bite-sized treats.
