Always looking for something healthy to have quickly in the morning, I am a person that needs to eat within 30 minutes after I get up or I get really cranky. So if you need to take the dog out, feed your little one, work out, or run off to work, this is an excellent on the run healthy and filling muffin.

1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped

March 9, 2012 at 8:06 pmThat’s such a great way to start the day. Wholewheat pastry flour is awesome. Healthy and tastes much better than regular!
I’ve also been experimenting with adding coconut flour (it’s high fibre, so makes muffins even healthier). Have you tried that before? I would totally recommend trying it out!

April 21, 2013 at 5:27 pmCan’t wait to try these, just making them now. But curious, why divide the coconut? It doesn’t mention anything later about using a separate amount of the coconut for something.

November 10, 2015 at 9:01 pmWhat a cool idea when you just want a little sohnimteg but you don’t want to be tempted by a dozen cupcakes. Wow. I need to try this.BTW: here’s the answer to your question about the cookbook I reviewed today: Oh, I meant to talk about vegetarian: yes, there are plenty of vegetarian dishes not very many vegan. But I think a vegetarian would be happier checking this one out from the library rather than buying it. Beth F’s last post ..
