Muffins for breakfast? Muffins can be a great breakfast choice, but remember…
Some muffins are basically cake, packed with refined sugar, simple carbs, and inflammatory oils. They’ll spike your blood sugar and leave you hungry again before you even start your day.
This kind of muffin is found on store shelves, in boxed mixes, drive-thrus and bakeries; Ok as a treat, but definitely not an ideal breakfast.
Other muffins can be slow-burning fuel - full of fiber, protein, healthy fat and antioxidants.
This kind is usually produced in home kitchens. You almost always have to make your own muffins worthy of nutritious breakfast status.
