Chai Whole Wheat Honey Muffins

Chai Whole Wheat Honey Muffins

Chai spices are so aromatic and warming. Making a batch of these Chai Whole Wheat Honey Muffins will warm your home with delicious smells. If you have never had anything chai, it is a blend of spices. I love having a batch of muffins for the week, because they make for a wonderful grab and go food in the morning or in the afternoon for a light snack.

Chai spices are a blend of cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, and clove. These spices together blend and produce the chai spice. It is light, but also vibrant and aromatic. These spices by themselves are great to bake or cook with. When paired together they are even more delicious. Each spice is unique within itself and you can taste each spice in these chai whole wheat muffins.

Spices are a great way to add a lot flavor to a recipe without adding a lot of sugar in this case. Muffins can be very caloric and unhealthy. These chai whole wheat muffins on the other hand are not unhealthy. It is 100% whole wheat flour, which means more fiber. More fiber makes this much healthier for us. Also using these chai spices have medicinal properties. The spices help reduce blood sugar spikes, reduce inflammation, and improves digestion. Using honey over loads of sugar also makes this recipe much healthier. Skip adding cups of processed sugar and swap in the natural honey as a light sweetener.

This recipe is really easy to prepare. Wonderful to make a batch for meal prep and have these ready for any sweet tooth or indulgence craving you may have.
