Fuel to Go Muffins
I have been making my Fuel to Go Muffins for over 15 years and they are still my number 1 favourite muffin! Loaded with a ton of super healthy ingredients!
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 will have everyone begging you to make more.
Another nutritionally dense recipe you may enjoy in my recipe for Fuel to Go Protein Bars.
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 athletes! So whether you are 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 a healthy breakfast muffin or after school snack. In our house we call them “Athlete Fuel”. This nutrient dense muffin tastes amazing and fills you up. One of my All Time Favourite Recipes!
Fuel to Go muffins smell incredible baking in the oven. I love eating them warm, but they also freeze very well.
Steps for making these healthy muffins
A ton of heathy ingredients all measured out ready to bake, just like on the TV Cooking Shows. This makes it easy to whip up the batter for the muffins. Now if only someone would do this for me, and wash the dishes after!
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.
Cool slightly, then move to wire rack to cool or eat warm! These muffins freeze great!

What could you substitute for the sugar? Honey? Applesauce?
Hi Mary, I can’t really say as I haven’t either this recipe.
Hi, i only can find a mix grain bread flour. Is this flour going to be ok? Thanks
Hi Albina, yes that should work well.
Has anyone made these with gluten free flour? If so how did they turn out? Or what other gluten-free multigrain flours are there to try? The
Hi Kathleen, I have made them with gluten free flour and they turned out wonderful. It was a mix I bought at our local organic grocer.
Thank you for this great recipe. I tried them with Bob’s Red Mill Gluten free all-purpose baking flour. My family loved them.
Cheers, Brett J
Do you have the nutritional breakdown for these?
Updated to include nutritional count. I usually make 12 muffins so the calorie count would be higher.
These are delicious! The batter is very thick, not super wet but the muffins are nice and moist. Really great flavour and very filling. They make a perfect on the go breakfast.
Thanks Amanda, yes the batter is very thick but bakes up beautifully with moist muffins.
Amazing recipe! We just followed it exactly as described and came out delicious. The crunchiness of the seeds with the moist of the pineapple and coconut oil (I used as a vegetable oil) were so perfect. Its moist inside and crunchy outside – fantastic!
Thank you Alessandra. I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. These are my all-time favourite muffins.
Has anyone tried subbing the sugar for Maple Syrup? I’ve (unfortunately!) just come across this recipe and CAN’T WAIT to try them!
Tried these muffins today. They are high carb for a Diabetic, but figured if this is the meal they would work. Used chopped dates for one of the dried fruits so figured that would be sweet enough with out the sugar. Also made a mix of soft whole wheat f lour, rye flour, rolled oats and coconut flour that I had on hand.
Have to limit them, but each is a meal.
These are great muffins. As another user commented that they used kodiak cakes waffle mix, I used the mix instead of whole grain flour, came out great. Also I reduced the sugar to 1/4 cup coconut sugar, 11/2 cup of dried fruit to 1/4 cup of raisins, also skipped the oil entirely but increased 1 grated apple to 3 grated apple. The muffins tastes great and keeps me fuller longer. Can’t wait to eat them tomorrow morning for breakfast with a side of smoothie.
Love these muffins. Sugar not required!
Thank you Lisa
Lisa, do you completely cut out the sugar and it turns out the same? Any replacement? Thanks!
