Healthy Granola Muffins are wholesome, lightly sweetened muffins packed with crunchy granola, whole grains, and nourishing ingredients. They make a satisfying breakfast, snack, or meal-prep option with plenty of texture and flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups granola
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the granola, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  6. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the granola to soften slightly.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  10. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use lightly sweetened granola for the best balance of flavor and texture.
  • Add berries, chopped nuts, dried fruit, or dark chocolate chips for variety.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based yogurt and milk.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • Freeze cooled muffins for up to 3 months and thaw before serving.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the muffins tender.
