Just curious- how is a cup of sugar in the oatmeal berry muffins considered healthy?
Hello Deb – thanks for providing your note here. At Health Stand Nutrition we provide a wide range of recipes – some that are low sugar and some that have more sugar. We have a wide range of clients that have a wide range of needs. While for you this recipe may not be something you are interested in trying (similar to someone with celiac disease wouldn’t choose this recipe as it doesn’t meet their needs for a gluten-free diet), eat what is most comfortable for you. If you are concerned about sugar and are good in the kitchen you could play with the ratio of sugar in the recipe for your needs. At our practice we advocate for an eating philosophy that there are no bad foods, only poor overall diets. If you’d like to learn more about the science of sugar and World Health Organization recommendations please visit this previous blog: https://www.healthstandnutrition.com/is-sugar-really-that-bad/.
I’m just curious, lots of fat and sugar in these muffins labeled as healthy, are there not healthier alternatives to some of these ingredients?
Hello Martha – thanks for your note here. We offer a wide range of recipes on our blog as we have a wide range of clients – some of which that need extra calories for example and some that may be looking for more or less of certain nutrients. Feel free to play with the recipe to adjust as you see fit, I just can’t guarantee the quality of the recipe will be the same (as reducing some of the fat for example and replacing with applesauce for example or adding less sugar does indeed change the texture and baking properties of the muffin significantly). Also remember the amount of fat and sugar in single muffin in the context of a full day can likely fit into a healthy diet for the vast majority of people. At our practice we always advocate for balanced over so called “clean” eating patterns. There are no bad foods, just poor overall diets.
Your muffin recipes are rich and tasty and I will try them for sure. Those who prefer to eat cardboard should not make
Thanks for letting us know you enjoy our recipes! Happy baking
