Whether for breakfast, a snack or even a light dessert, these fresh takes on the old-school muffin format deliver in spades on taste and texture.
Forget the heavy, sugar-laden muffins served at your local coffee shop. These clean, handheld treats are chock full of flavor with soft, fluffy structures that are still strong enough to hold up to a smear or two of spread. (May we suggest a raw nut butter or no-sugar-added jelly?) They also rise to the occasion (pun intended) by addressing three different dietary focuses: You can select from a whole-wheat, Paleo or gluten-free option to satisfy even the pickiest of bake-sale patrons.
