Kiwi muffins are a wonderful treat and perfect way to keep your breakfast, lunch bag or box interesting and delicious.

When I first started blogging, there was a blog called the Clean Eating Club. I loved that web site and was sorry to see it go. I always got so much inspiration there for my eating plan and lifestyle when I was just starting out.

My little guy LOVED these, and I have to say I thought they were pretty good.

KIWI MUFFIN NOTES:

• I used a small amount of soy milk for extra protein, but you can add regular milk or almond milk if you don’t do soy.
• I used some flax seed meal for fiber. You can sub with chia seed if you prefer that.
• You can substitute many different types of fruits if you’re not a kiwi fan. Try apples, bananas, berries or pears.

HOW FULL SHOULD MUFFIN CUPS BE?

For any muffin cup, you want to fill them about 3/4 of the way full. More than that will make the muffin rise way beyond what it should. Less than that would give you flat muffins without a nice, rounded top.

CAN YOU MAKE MUFFINS WITHOUT LINERS?

Absolutely! The trick is to oil the wells of your pan really well. It also helps greatly to use newer muffin pans that have a smooth, non-stick finish.

HOW DO YOU GET MUFFINS UNSTUCK?

If you’ve made muffins without liners and they end up getting stuck to your pan, simply place the entire thing in the freezer for about an hour or two. Pull them and out and use a knife or spatula to run round the edges of the muffins. They should come out quite easily after that.

EASY MUFFINS RECIPE:

If you want something easy, this recipe is perfect. You can omit the kiwi and add just about any flavoring you prefer.

• Lemon muffins – add 1 tbsp. lemon zest + 1 tsp. lemon extract
• Blueberry muffins – add 1 cup fresh blueberries
• Poppyseed muffins – add 2 tbsp. poppyseeds
• Chocolate chip muffins – add a 1/2 cup chocolate chips + 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
