Notes

1 Muffin provides 18g added sugar – now, half of this is from a raw honey source so there are health benefits. However, 24g or less is the daily recommendation from the AHA. 1 muffin paired with a rich protein source, like 2-3 eggs or 1 C of Greek yogurt, helps balance blood sugar levels with intake.
Reminder, infants (one and under) can not consume raw honey due to increased risk for botulism. You can simply replace 1/2 C honey in recipe with 1/2 C unsweetened applesauce – this also reduces the total added sugar amount.
