Healthy muffin recipe please

Younger daughter has to make some healthy eating muffins for Food Tech this week. Does anybody have a recipe? I've searched the net but it's all American measures and cups. She wants to be able to eat them herself

I've bought a muffin tin.Now all she has to do is make them.

I have a lovely muffin recipe .... but it's defo NOT healthy

You won't get a "healthy" (proper) muffin recipe ... they're far too high in fat and sugar to be remotley healthy

Maybe if she made something like banana & walnut ones they could be classed as healthy?

Thank you for all your recipes.
In the end she made cinnamon and raisin muffins. Shhhh...they were a bit hard but we ate them (as you do)

I'll certainly keep these recipes and try them myself.
