Cik Dietitian's notes:

The basic ingredients of muffin are sugar, butter/oil, egg, and milk. They are refined sugar, saturated fat and cholesterol. Hence here are some tips to make it healthier:

1. Use vegetable oil such as canola oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, etc instead of palm oil. Those are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), or so called the 'good fat' that could benefits your cardiovascular health by reducing total cholesterol as well as LDL cholesterol (the bad guy cholesterol). Provided that it is taken as recommended -excessive is also not good. They are still fat thus there still calorie in them.

2. Use low fat/non fat buttermilk. Butter is also saturated fat that might raised the LDL cholesterol. If you use milk in your recipe, go for low fat milk.

3. Reduce the amount of sugar used. Simple sugar is also not good for your health, for the obvious reason (malas nak tulis dah sebenarnya =P)

4. Add fiber! You can add almonds (they are MUFA), oats or flaxseeds. You'll get not only crunchier muffin (yup i like the taste of something crunchy in my muffins), but also healthier one. 

Or if you dont have time like me (yeah i know lazy is the right word),  just have them once in a while when u are so craved for it. By once in a while I mean once in 2-3 month, and take 1 muffin per craving episode. Should be fine, no?
