Low calorie muffin recipes?

Xan921

I'm getting awfully sick of eating dry cheerios and oatmeal for breakfast since I've been counting my calories.  I like simple breakfast food that I can eat at my desk at work (and I don't really like yogurt) so I was thinking muffins would be a good option, except all the boxed muffin mixes always turn out small/not filing and are higher in calories.

So does anyone have a good harty muffin recipe that isn't loaded with calories?  I like to keep my breakfast under 200 calories, 250 max.  Thanks!

 Try these too!  Protein instead of carbs it will help keep you full.  I used these during the school year when I was working and following WW.  I would make them at work and could eat them in the classroom.  They're more than 200 cals, but very filling!

I usually make pumpkin muffins- can't find the recipe I usually use though. I am sure you can find some online, I am pretty sure it was orginally from WW.

 I add chocolate chips to mine when I am feeling naughty.

I second skinny taste, Prevention RD is another blog with some good light recipes.  I also like Make-ahead muffins from Pioneer Woman, I make it with egg beaters, turkey bacon and light muffins and make sandwiches from them (I think we cut the mayo in half too) we make them ahead for the week
