As I was recently going back through all of my recipes to add them into my new app<\/a> (which is doing awesome, thank you all for supporting it!), I was a little surprised to notice that some of my older recipes used a bit more sugar and oil than I would have liked. I mean, it was never a ton, but as my cooking and nutritional knowledge have evolved, I have stopped using sugar and oil almost completely. I’m even planning on revamping some older recipes to omit or replace the oil & sugar where possible.<\/p>\n

What does that have to do with muffins? Well, one of my favorite recipes is my strawberry cornbread muffins<\/a>. They’re delicious, but they have a quarter cup of both maple syrup and coconut oil. Ugh. Really? So recently, I decided to work some magic (namely pureed dates and almond butter for a sweet, rich, creamy texture) in order to make a new cornbread muffin that is 100% free of oil and sweetener. There is nothing flashy about these \u2013 they aren’t overly sweet or rich or anything special \u2013 but they’re the kind of recipe I’m making more and more lately. Simple, staple foods that actually make you healthier<\/em> if you eat the whole batch in one sitting. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

The most surprising thing about these muffins? They are fiber champions. I’m working on an article about the benefits of fiber (which would be my #1 dietary recommendation \u2013 get more fiber) and corn has a surprising amount. If you use medium-grind cornmeal (it has more fiber than fine) like Bob’s Red Mill, we’re talking upwards of 40 grams of fiber in this batch of 10 muffins (the average American only gets 15 per day). <\/p>\n

Simple. Fast. Unprocessed Ingredients. These muffins are classic One Ingredient.<\/p>\n
