15 of The Best Healthy Muffin Recipes

February 25, 2019 by Bianca Carey Spencer, Updated October 21, 2022

15 Delicious & Healthy Muffin Recipes That Kids Will Love!

Healthy Muffin Recipes for Kids

One of our favourite things to make at My Fussy Eater is muffins! And a good muffin doesn’t have to be unhealthy.

We love the versatility of a homemade muffin.  Make them sweet or savoury, serve them for breakfast, lunch or a snack.

They are super easy to make, can frequently be made in advance and frozen to be defrosted as and when you need them and ingredients can be varied depending on your family’s tastes!

They make a great grab and go breakfast for children and adults alike, are fab for putting into lunch boxes or are an easy and filling snack after school or nursery.

We’ve put together 15 of our favourite sweet and savoury healthy muffin recipes for you to try.

    LOVE this roundup! So far my daughter and I have made the Bacon & Egg muffins, the healthier chocolate chip muffins and the strawberry blender muffins and they were all delicious! We will be working our way through the rest of them over the autumn months for sure.

    Can I just say your post ’10 Delicious & Healthy Muffin Recipes That Kids Will Love!’ is amazing? I think this is a great way to eat healthy food that tastes amazing at the same time. Because it can be personalised I am sure it’s something that everyone can make and enjoy. I would even dare to present it at my birthday party instead of a cake or a pie. The only I am concerned about is that I am not such a good cook. So I was wondering if it is not to hard if you almost never bake? If that is the case, I think this is one of the best food blogs I have ever read. I really like your ‘healthy but delicious’ concept and I hope you will post a lot more of these things.
