Here on What Molly Made I LOVE muffins. They're one of my favorite things to bake. Whether your a meal prep muffin person, weekend muffin person or snack muffin person, this roundup is for you!

Why are muffins great to make with kids? You usually only need one bowl and no beaters, just a whisk! It's a great time to get your kids involved.

Which muffins are the healthiest?

Some recipes can be filled with butter, flour and sugar and they're more of a dessert. Recipes made with ingredients like almond flour, berries and honey are healthy! Find recipes full of fruit, fiber and anti-inflammatory ingredients to start your kiddos day right for breakfast.

Pantry staples for healthy muffins

Here are some go to ingredients to keep on hand if you want to make healthy muffins! Keep these in your pantry for muffins any time.

  • Gluten free flours like almond flour, coconut flour or 1:1 gluten free flour
  • Eggs
  • Almond butter
  • Bananas
  • Maple syrup or coconut sugar
  • Your favorite mix-ins like chocolate chips or blueberries

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups gluten free oat flour
  • ½ cup tapioca flour
  • ½ cup ground flax seed
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • ⅓ cup raw honey
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional additions: cinnamon, diced apples, blueberries, bananas, cranberries, walnuts, peanut butter, nutella, lemon zest, poppy seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 9-10 muffin cups with liners and spray the liners with nonstick cooking spray (I like coconut oil spray).
  • In a small to medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, tapioca flour, ground flax seed, baking soda and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together eggs, honey, vanilla, almond milk, coconut oil and lemon juice until smooth and well combined. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • At this point, add whatever mix ins you have on hand like chocolate chips, blueberries, strawberries, apples and cinnamon or more.
  • Use a large spoon to fill the prepared muffin liners all the way to the top, but not over the top. It should fill 9 to 10 muffin cups. Place a few extra blueberries on top of each one before baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Transfer muffin tin to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes then remove the muffins from the tin and allow to cool completely or serve warm.

Remove any obstructions that you find.Power Cycle the Printer: Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, and wait for a few minutes. Then, plug it back in and turn it on. This can sometimes reset the printer buy now and clear any temporary errors.

      Verify Paper Tray Placement: Ensure that the paper tray is correctly inserted and aligned. Improper placement of the paper tray can lead to paper feed issues and potential errors. Clean the Pickup Roller: If you are comfortable doing so, you can try cleaning the pickup roller, which is responsible for feeding the paper. Consult the printer's user manual or Epson's support resources for specific instructions on how to access and clean the pickup roller.
