    Pair this muffin with an almond milk smoothie, and you'll have a boost of antioxidants and fiber. For another dish with wholesome oats, try this healthy oatmeal.

    And for lunch or dinner, try this Italian Bean soup or one of these Daniel Fast recipes. Eating healthy can be delicious, too!

    Why We Love this Recipe

    Every year in January my husband and I take part in a fast with our church. Though there are many different kinds of fasts (some people even fast social media) we choose to use the Daniel Fast as our guideline.

    This easy muffin recipe fits right in with the Daniel Fast as it has no added sugar, no dairy, and no white flour. I found the basic recipe for Pineapple Citrus Muffins on the Ultimate Daniel Fast website. I switched it up a bit with what I had on hand and eliminated the coconut.

    If you're not familiar with the Daniel Fast and want to know more, check out preparing for the Daniel Fast. This fast is about eliminating foods that simply aren't healthy, but there is plenty you can eat! When you stop putting unhealthy food in your body, several things happen:

    • You eliminate toxins that have built up in your body from processed foods.
    • Your thinking becomes more clear, which is why many churches participate in this fast. Clearer thinking means more focused prayer time.
    • You usually lose weight.
    • You'll have a better idea of what you're putting in your body, which is enlightening, to say the least.

    In an article in Time magazine, Dr. Richard Bloomer, dean of the University of Memphis' School of Health Studies, says, "There's a lot of potential health benefits from adopting this approach." I've participated in The Daniel Fast for about the last 7 years, and I see benefits each time I go on the fast.

    What You Need for this Easy Muffin Recipe

    You can certainly use purchased oat flour, but you can also make it by putting old fashioned oats in your food processor and grinding until it's powdery. It's super easy!

    You will also need old fashioned oats, chopped apple, pineapple, ground flaxseed, walnuts, date syrup, orange zest, and ground ginger.

    How to Make this Easy Muffin Recipe

    Scroll all the way down to see the exact measurements for ingredients as well as detailed instructions!

    For Oat Flour: Ground one cup oats until fine like flour.

    Combine all ingredients except pineapple pieces and stir well.

    What Other Fruit Could I Use for this Easy Muffin Recipe?

    You could use just about any fruit! I really like chopped mango in my oatmeal, so it would be a nice addition to these muffins. Banana would be wonderful, as would any kind of berry.

    You can also switch up the nuts. Try almonds or pecans. Chia seeds would work as well.

    How Long Do These Muffins Keep?

    Make breakfast delicious with this easy muffin recipe. You won't find a healthier way to start your day as this muffin has no added sugar and no dairy!

    Refrigerate these muffins and they will keep for 3-4 days. They can also be frozen, keeping for a month or so.

    Be sure to get the air out of the bag before freezing. Just press the baggie as much as you can to get excess air out. Freezer burn will ruin the flavor.

    Make sure to write the date on the bag so you know when it's time to toss them- though they never last that long in my house!

      What is the wet ingredient in this recipe? I mixed as the recipe was written and it was very dry. I added 1/2 cup of applesauce and 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk to make it wet enough to stick together.

        Hi Christy- the juices from the chopped fruit was enough when I made these muffins. Perhaps the fruit was not juicy enough? It's been ages since I've made these but now I'm craving them again. I'm sorry you had trouble with the recipe. I'll make them again soon and consider your experience to make sure the batter is wet enough. Thank so much.
