35+ Amazing Healthy Muffin and Quick Bread Recipes
Looking for simple quick bread recipes and muffins that you can make with wholesome ingredients? Here are some fantastic, easy and healthy muffins and quick breads that you’ll love!
What are quick breads?
A quick bread can be sweet or savory. The key is that it is a bread recipe without yeast, so it comes together quickly, with no kneading or rising involved!
To help the bread rise, another leavening ingredient such as baking soda and/or baking powder is used. These type of no-yeast recipes include traditional quick breads, as well as scones, and even air fryer pumpkin bagels!
I have easy-to-make recipes for whole grain quick breads, like Cajeta banana bread – the perfect healthy snack! There’s even a whole grain Irish soda bread with steel cut oats!
For a comforting breakfast treat, you can’t go wrong with a slice of pear cardamom quick bread or earl grey banana bread!

Maple Oat Pecan Scones
If there’s one thing I’ve been more obsessed with than brussels sprouts lately, it’s maple. It all started with a drive to Vermont to take in the foliage. Along the way, we stopped at one of our favorite chocolate shops, and I picked up a small package of maple shortbread cookies and the most adorable little jug of syrup I’ve ever seen. Since then, it’s pretty much been all maple all the time.
When it came time to pick a recipe to make for this month’s secret recipe club, I crossed my fingers and hoped to find something maple-y. Success! These maple pecan scones from Baking & Creating with Avril fit the bill perfectly, and they’re delicious to boot!
