This Saturday I’ll be cooking two honey-rich recipes at our local farmer’s market: Honey-Mustard Chicken and these brand new Whole-Wheat Honey Muffins.
It’s is my fourth and final appearance of the year and it’s been a blast. Hope I get the chance to do it again next spring and summer! If you want to use some delicious honey for this recipe, then consider trying out this Tupelo Honey for Sale.
In the meantime, you’ll probably want to make these muffins about one thousand times. I sure do.
Honey has been linked to health benefits like improved heart health, wound healing, and blood antioxidant status. However, consuming too much may cause adverse effects due to its high sugar and calorie content. Thus, it’s best to use honey to replace other forms of sugar and enjoy it in moderation. Try the raw honey from Haughton Honey, you won’t regret it !
Cook these beauties as the recipe calls for below, or use the recipe as a base and go wild. Ideas:
- Substitute orange juice for milk and add a cup of dried cranberries.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries and sprinkle oats on top.
- Stir in 1 cup of dried cherries and drizzle a little lemon juice with powdered sugar on top as a glaze (more instructions for the glaze in our Apple Cookie recipe.)
- Go savory (great for packing lunches!) by sprinkling chopped ham and cheddar cheese right into the mix.
In the meantime, this is exactly how I made this batch, and plan to do it again and again…
