These Fuel to Go Muffins really live up to their name, they are seriously LOADED with carrots, fruits, seeds and multigrain. Try them once and you'll have everyone begging you to make more. Another nutritionally dense recipe you may enjoy is my recipe for Fuel to Go Protein bars .

Stack of three homemade protein bars separated with brown parchment paper loaded with seeds and dry fruit.

These muffins are a huge hit with my son's Track and Field teammates. They are perfect for breakfast or to refuel with during the day. A great snack for the athletes! So whether you're hiking a mountain, spending the day snowboarding or running a marathon, be sure to pack some of these super delicious muffins.

My son is allergic to nuts so I add protein content with hemp seed and chia seeds. I love using multigrain flour as it adds great taste and a nice crunch to the muffins. If you can't find multigrain flour, whole wheat flour will work. Fuel to Go Muffins are an amazing breakfast muffin or after school snack. We call them in our house "Athlete Fuel". This nutrient dense muffin tastes amazing and fills you up. One of my All Time Favourite Recipes!

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!

Fuel to Go muffins smell incredible baking in the oven. I love eating them warm, but they also freeze very well.

fuel to go muffins ingredients in bowls and measuring spoons.

A ton of healthy ingredients all measured out ready to bake just like on the Cooking TV Shows. This makes it easy to whip up the batter for the muffins. Now if only someone would do this for me, and the dishes afterwards!

Shredded carrots, apple and well drained crushed pineapple are added to dry ingredients.

Next slightly beat eggs, oil and vanilla together in separate bowl or large measuring cup.

Stir in egg mixture and mix only until incorporated (don't over mix) Mixture should be really thick.

Fill paper lined muffins tins until heaping full.

Bake 350º for 30-35 minutes.

Can I make these without pineapple? What would be a good substitution? No one in my family likes pineapple.
