Recipe 2: Banana-Oatmeal Muffins

These oatmeal-banana muffins strike the perfect balance of spice and sweetness. The oats soften while baking, making these muffins moist, tender, and filling enough for breakfast. The riper the bananas, the sweeter the muffins will be.

Recipe 3: Copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

Lightly sweetened cream cheese fills the center of these copycat Starbucks pumpkin muffins, while pepitas add a great crunch factor. Whole-wheat flour amps up the fiber in these healthy breakfast muffins. Be sure not to overfill the muffin with the cream cheese filling or else it will overflow when baking.

Recipe 5: Apple-Cinnamon Muffins

These healthy apple-cinnamon muffins will put you in an autumnal state of mind no matter the time of year.
