The Best Healthy Muffin Recipes from the Muffin Queen

The best healthy muffin recipes come in all shapes and sizes. Inside this recipe round up you’ll find gluten free, paleo, dairy free, grain free and even low carb muffins to enjoy. All from the self-proclaimed muffin queen.


That’s right, this muffin queen (hi, it’s me!) rounded up my favorite healthy muffin recipes that are perfect for breakfast, snack, desserts, and especially sharing with the people you love. LET’S DO IT UP PEOPLE.

Truth: I call baking my therapy. When I’m feeling anxious, I trash up my kitchen and bake my heart out. It soothes the soul.

But you know what I love even more? Baking for the ones I love. There’s nothing better than expressing your love and gratitude for someone than with fresh baked goodies.

Each of these healthy muffin recipes has a unique flavor and add-ins, but they all have one thing in common…they are amazingly fluffy, perfectly sweet and have wholesome ingredients. I created these recipes using different flours so that there’s a good mix of regular and gluten-free that you can share with anyone.

After all, muffins are one of my favorite ways to show some love to friends and family. So, it’s time! Time to take a scroll through this fluffy goodness, preheat the oven, and get baking. Share with a loved one, and be sure to freeze extra for yourself. Enjoy!
