I adore muffins, but they can be sugar and calorie disasters.
My days of indulging in jumbo 400 to 500 calorie muffins are long gone.
These days, I love collecting recipes for skinnier healthier muffin recipes and tips for making healthy muffins from scratch.
Like these healthy blueberry muffin recipes - so I always have one at the ready when I want it.
Oatmeal and bananas are two favorite healthy muffin and quick bread ingredients. And healthy banana muffins and healthy low fat banana bread are classics that I come back to again and again, especially when I have leftover bananas to use up.

Hi Annemarie,
I'm afraid they are an old recipe/photo that never made it to the website. With all the cooking and photographing I do, it's hard to keep track of them all.
