There’s something about muffins. They’re like the cashmere blanket of baked goods. They’re cozy and warm, and homey, and you just want to curl up with them on a cold day. And since so many of you have had more than your fair share of cold days (way more), I thought you could use a muffin.
Here are 28 healthier, whole grain, fruit-studded muffins you can feel good about. I’ve organized them by the fruits they contain, so you can skip around to your favorites: Apple, avocado, banana, blueberry, cranberry, pineapple, raisin, raspberry and strawberry.
