Those popular mini muffin bags have 20 grams of sugar and they’re aimed at kids. That’s a dessert in my view, so here are some mini muffin bites made healthier.
How are these chocolate chip mini muffins healthier?
More fiber with the use of different flours (but not too much to change the texture) – white whole wheat or half white and half wheat.
Extra protein with the use of greek yogurt and eggs.
Significantly less sugar with a smaller amount of honey or maple syrup.
