<\/figure>What makes these apple-carrot breakfast muffins healthy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Yes, \u201chealthy\u201d is a subjective term, but here are a few reasons why I consider these muffins to be more nutritional than most (especially when compared to coffee shop or bakery muffins):<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- These apple-carrot breakfast muffins are more healthy than your average muffin, as they are made with equal parts of regular spelt and whole grain spelt flour. Whole grain spelt flour offers redeeming whole grain nutrients and extra fiber. And even regular spelt has some benefits. The naturally occurring gluten in spelt has a different molecular structure than the gluten in modern wheat which makes it easier to digest. Which is why is it a more tolerable choice for anyone with a sensitive digestive system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The muffins are also naturally sweetened with maple syrup (or honey) and a little unrefined Mascobado whole cane sugar<\/a> (a mere 2 tablespoons!), which lends a subtle and natural tasting sweetness to the muffins. And te lower in overall sugar content compared to store bought muffins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Coconut oil replaces butter. Although coconut oil contains more saturated fat than butter, it raises the good kind of cholesterol in the blood. Olive oil, which is composed of more heart healthy monounsaturated fat could also be used instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Although these muffins also taste great warm, I think they are even better once they have had time to cool completely. So, if you can let them rest for a couple of hours at room temperature before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n
