Homemade Muffins vs Starbucks: Why We've Made These Every Week for 8 Years

We've been making these healthy muffins for nearly 8 years...through newborn days, busy mornings, road trips, retreats, and everything in between. Today we're putting them head-to-head against a Starbucks muffin to compare the ingredients, nutrition, cost, and taste. Are homemade muffins really healthier? Are they actually cheaper? And can they compete on flavor? We'll walk you through our favorite family recipe, explain why these muffins have stood the test of time, and compare them side-by-side with Starbucks. If you're looking for simple whole food recipes your family will actually eat, you're in the right place.
