Nine Great Muffin Recipes to Bake ASAP

Muffins are one of the great gateways to baking. Even people who don't fancy themselves bakers are inclined to tackle a muffin recipe now and then. These are some long-time favorites. They're worth making, and worth eating. Many of them also freeze reazonably well, although I'm hesitant to type that sentence ;)....A couple tips - don't over mix the batter, or you'll end up with tough muffins. And don't be afraid to experiment with seasonal fruits, and alternative nuts and seeds.

5. Oatmeal Muffins - (101 Cookbooks)
Crumble-topped with an oatmeal and yogurt base. And when I say, crumble, I mean the type of crumble you put on top of fruit before baking. These are a bit custard-y when hot, and not-at-all when cooled. Craggy, golden-topped, and delicious! Get the recipe here.

I’m going to try all these muffins starting with the Turmeric Breakfast Recipe since lately I’ve been seeing the benefits of Turmeric Latte and would also like to try my kids to eat some food with turmeric as well. Great article!

You left out my favorite Heidi muffin: espresso banana from your first cookbook. Be sure to add the chocolate!

What a great round up of recipes. I have never made savory pumpkin muffins before but after seeing the one with feta, I am super pumped to give it a try.
Thanks for sharing Heidi.
Cheers!

These are fantastic. A few years ago, I quit eating anything sweet before noon and it has been such a help in not having a mid-morning slump. Complex carbs like oatmeal and other grains are great, especially in the form of muffins, which I make big batches of and freeze. Easy to take out one or two at a time. My go-to recipe involves oatmeal and whole wheat, with lots of grated vegetables to keep the muffins from turning into concrete and some cheese for interest and protein.
However: MILLET! What a great idea. I’m going to pick up some today and try this asap.
