The Best Muffin Recipes for a Quick, Healthy Breakfast

A whole-grain blueberry muffin from your local coffee shop or bakery might sound like a relatively smart to-go breakfast choice, but that unassuming pastry has a surprising number of calories—not to mention way more sugar than you want to know about. (Yes, even that gluten-free organic flax whatever-the-heck muffin made with farm-fresh eggs and unicorn dust.) In many cases, you may as well have a piece of cake or a cupcake for breakfast.

Instead, try these homemade healthy muffin recipes for weight loss. They're all created by registered dietitians and healthy eating experts who know how to keep the taste but leave out all that other stuff that's not-so-good (and not-so-good for your results on the scale).
