Sugar Free Muffins

I am taking a break from sugar right now and I have to tell you, it’s hard.   Everything has sugar in it!  Or if you go to the grocery store and read the labels, it seems like nearly everything does, even food that you wouldn’t have guessed.

 English muffins? Sugar.  Those delicious “natural” raspberry preserves? So much sugar!  Multigrain bread? Sugar.  Spaghetti Sauce? Sugar (make your own!).   Granola and Crackers? Sugar.  It’s in everything! 

How to Make Healthy Muffins

These healthy apple muffins are only 48 calories a piece, making them a great option for breakfast or a afternoon snack!

It’s nearly impossible to find a sugar free baked good in the grocery store so I started making my own with simple ingredients.    When I started researching sugar free recipes I was kind of put off by the complex, expensive ingredients that so many people were using.  

If you are just starting to go sugar free you probably don’t want to break the bank buying these ingredients because you aren’t sure if it’s going to work out or not.  So I made these muffins with ingredients that you probably have already in your kitchen.  

There is no sugar in these muffins – none! To keep them tasty we are usiing fresh blueberries and unsweetened almond milk.  These are much healthier substitutes for sugar, honey and butter.  Blueberries are naturally sweet, so we don’t need the extra sugar! 

Healthy Apple Muffins

For this recipe you’ll need one small apple cut up, preferably a tart apple, but use your favorite.    I picked some apples on the land this past weekend when I found a few apple trees that I didn’t know existed.  The land is always giving us new surprises, pretty cool, right?

The batter for these muffins will be a little blueish due to the smashed blueberries.    I love using my mini muffin pan for these!

Once baked, let cool for a few minutes and then eat them up!  This recipe makes 20 mini muffins that you can share with family and friends, or keep them all to yourself! Each is only 48 calories! 

And for the taste test – they’re delicious!  Even without butter and sugar, they still are sweet and super soft.

Enjoy!
