We've called in all the good carbs, plus sneaky sources of fiber and protein to pump up the nutrition in these muffins, scones, and bread recipes. Some even offer a serving of fruit! There's a lot to loaf...ahem, we mean love...about these healthy homemade breads, healthy muffins, and healthy scones. 01 of 09 Rhu-Berry Streusel Muffins View Recipe Brie Passano Think rhubarb recipes stop at strawberry combos? These healthy blueberry muffins will change your mind—and prove that your options are nearly endless with the vegetable. (Yes, rhubarb is a veggie!) Fruits, vegetables, plus some protein by way of Greek yogurt, these healthy muffins are a smart way to start the day.

There's a reason why one BHG.com reader says, "This bread is so delicious I make it weekly! I bring a slice of it to work every day and feel like I'm eating something both healthy and tasty." Because it is all that and more! A two-to-one ratio of all-purpose to almond flour amps up the nutrition while keeping the texture nice and light, and dried fruits, nuts, and olive oil add healthy fats and natural sweetness. 03 of 09 Cassava Pumpkin Muffins View Recipe Brie Passano Since these healthy pumpkin muffins are made with cassava flour, maple syrup, and olive oil (instead of traditional flour, sugar, and butter), they're 100 percent Paleo-compliant. They're also 100 percent scrumptious, due to a spoonful of pumpkin pie spice and a big scoop of canned pumpkin. You'll also enjoy this recipe if portion control is a challenge: Each batch makes a reasonable six single-serving, healthy muffins. 04 of 09 Gluten-Free Zucchini Bread View Recipe Blaine Moats This healthy zucchini bread is not only gluten-free (double check for GF oats and flour), but also hiding a surprising amount of protein. Each slice has a whopping six grams, in fact, from a scoop of whey protein powder, a carton of Greek yogurt, and a handful of walnuts. Two cups of shredded squash keep the batter super moist. 05 of 09 Apple Streusel Muffins View Recipe Andy Lyons Sweet, sugary streusel rarely appears atop healthy apple muffin recipes. But here's a fun, flavorful twist: Add pecans and flaxseed to a bit of brown sugar and butter and the streusel becomes a smart way to sneak in more fiber and healthy fats. The batter is made with half whole-wheat flour for more nutrition. Try These Irresistible Apple Desserts 06 of 09 Dilled Zucchini Bread View Recipe Jacob Fox Sweet, earthy, and full of freshness, this healthy zucchini bread will disappear fast. Walnuts and pecans offer a welcome crunch factor, and a mind-blowing 2½ cups of zucchini fold beautifully into the batter. Try half all-purpose and half whole-wheat flour for the best texture and nutrition results. 16 Easy-to-Grow Herbs 07 of 09 Mixed Grain Bread View Recipe Jason Donnelly This healthy whole grain bread recipe features cracked wheat, cornmeal, whole-wheat flour, and rolled oats for a hearty loaf that packs in 5 grams of protein per slice. Try it as the base for avocado toast, the foundation for sandwiches, or simply spread with homemade jam. Buy It: Farberware Nonstick Bread Loaf Pan, $17 for two, Amazon 08 of 09 Rosemary-Citrus Scones View Recipe For tea time, breakfast, or even as a side with dinner, turn to this fruit-studded healthy scone recipe. A savory blend of oats, orange peel, and rosemary (trust us!) is used to create this tender, flaky dough. Just three tablespoons of a light-flavored oil are needed to ace the scone structure. 09 of 09 Zucchini-Banana Flaxseed Muffins View Recipe Jason Donnelly You can tell just by the name that this healthy muffin recipe is loaded with nutrition. Using rolled oats, mostly whole wheat flour, and flaxseed meal adds ample fiber. The fat is kept in check by using just a small amount of butter and canola oil and fat-free milk.
