I also couldn’t make out much cardamom, so highly recommend doubling if you make these. I had to make with pears instead of peaches due to the season, and I felt like the chopped fruit didn’t lend itself well to a cohesive texture or flavor profile. And while I think the crumb would’ve benefited from some other type of flour (the muffins themselves didn’t have the best structural integrity), these are straight-up delicious-lemon and blueberry are a tried-and-true combo, and the chia seeds came out wonderfully crunchy. This was the first recipe I made where the almond flour wasn’t balanced with another type, and the batter itself felt a bit like wet sand-I was #concerned. (The little Bob’s Red Mill bag ran out, uh, quickly, so I invested in a large bag from Costco.) I’m not really an “almond flour” person, preferring full gluten and fluffy crumbs whenever possible.

Here’s the inside scoop on each recipe, available now in Rise and Run. Strout (our resident gluten-free baker), Managing Editor Jessica Campbell-Salley (the traditional tester), and Associate Editor Malissa Rodenburg (vegan superstar) made batches of muffins for weeks. So when we learned that Flanagan and Kopecky’s newest book, Rise and Run, would feature 24 new recipes for Superhero Muffins, we knew we had to try them all. They’re fast, tasty, and nutrient-dense, popular with runners everywhere ( this apple-carrot version continues to be a favorite on our site, years after publishing it). Eat Slow., are the best-our Senior Writer, Erin Strout, makes a batch every Sunday to fuel her runs through the week. ![]() Superhero muffins, the whole-grain muffins made famous by Shalane Flanagan and Elyse Kopecky’s book Run Fast.
