A super easy, quick and healthy whole wheat muesli muffins recipe. It makes a great breakfast next to a cup of milk or coffee or even a snack on the go.
Whole wheat muesli muffins
Today I’d like to offer you a healthy muffin recipe. This whole wheat muesli muffins recipe has less sugar, whole wheat flour, muesli and lots of fruit. I love it that it’s so easy to make, super quick to prepare and makes a great breakfast next to a glass of milk or coffee. I though of an idea to offer my little ones a healthy breakfast where I get to trick them into eating more fruit and whole wheat.
Guess what, a dessert like recipe always does the trick! The whole wheat muesli muffins were a big hit, they only managed to last until the next day. Fair enough the adults helped a bit with a muffin or two and in some cases a little more than just that.
I’ll definitely make this recipe again, in fact I plan to make it a regular on our table. Why not, it’s got all the good things: whole wheat, plenty of fruit, muesli etc I’ve learnt a few things while making this recipe:
- The original recipe wasn’t mentioning any milk but I found I need to add half a cup as the muesli tend to expand and absorb all the fluids in the ingredients.
- Next time I’ll have the muesli mixed up with some milk first to get them moist. I like my muffins super soft and moist and this simple trick will help.
- I’ll also double up the ingredients as the original recipe was stating the whole mixture will be good for 20 muffins while I got 12 only. Not enough for a big family like ours!
All in all, the whole wheat muesli muffins is a recipe I’d recommend anytime. It’s not too oily, not to sweet, has loads of fruit, both dried and fresh and most importantly it takes 10-15 minutes to make. With more practice I believe 5 minutes will be enough to prepare this super tasty recipe.

I didn’t see anywhere in the post what temperature to bake them at,could you tell me please? They sound wonderful and I can’t wait to try them!
Hi Chrystal. Thanks so much for your interest in my recipe, that’s pretty flattering :) Make sure you preheat the oven and when ready to put the muffins in, keep your oven on its lowest temp.The lowest on mine is 356°F but I checked after 20 min to make sure they don’t burn. They weren’t ready so I baked for 10 more min. Better bake longer than burn them :) Let me know how they turned.
Oh, these are so moist and delicious looking! I love a healthy muffin. Thanks for a great recipe!
These muffins look perfect for an early morning breakfast on the go. I love how simple the recipe is, one I will have to be sure to make. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,
Shari
