These are really known as “Jeannette’s muffins” as it’s my dear friend, Jeannette, who first shared them with me. The recipe has been modified to lower sugar, oxalate, and sodium to make them Kidney Stone Diet-Approved.

Remember, make these to accommodate your taste. I like cranberries, but you may not, so use any low oxalate fruit you desire. I wanted less sugar, so I opted for the cranberry, but I also love them.

These muffins make for a great breakfast or snack and pair perfectly with a plain, low-fat greek style yogurt (dairy or non). An excellent source of fiber too!

You can see that I added some toasted pecans to my muffins. If you use them sparingly, you can use some too. Account for the added oxalate if you do.

    I can’t wait to try this recipe- thank you so much for sharing it! I’ve been eating your salad all summer- cantaloupe, arugula, goat cheese and prosciutto. Perfect! I don’t feel like I’m missing out on delicious food with your suggestions!

      Hi Vicki,
      Remember portion not perfection. Stone makers can still eat some nuts if they are on the safe oxalate list and they are not overdone! 7 whole pecans have 15 mg/oxalate. So a few crushed toasted pieces have so little and can still be put on top if one desires!

    I was a bit surprised to see the addition of whole wheat flour given its inclusion on the High Oxalate lists. I make a Low Oxalate bread that contains many of the same ingredients but using regular flour. I also add milk to boost the calcium.

      Hi Adrian,
      If you note, WW flour has 29 mg/ox for a WHOLE cup. Spread out between 12 muffins adds very little oxalate. This is a portion game and WW flour is more nutritious than white flour. Portion not perfection and you will see that you can eat so many more healthy foods. These muffins have less than 5 mg each. While most patients are allowed 100 mg/ox per day, you can see that these are indeed a low oxalate choice!
      Thanks for writing,
      Jill

        Your newsletter is a game changer for me. I used to struggle with kidney stones but changed my diet to avoid the really high oxalate foods. I do eat them sometimes in moderation (except I stay away fully from spinach, peanut butter, raspberries, and most nuts). My cheat is chocolate in small amounts (when not eating white chocolate). My biggest issue is salt consumption and I continue to struggle with reducing my intake but certainly eat way less processed foods which are packed with sodium. Must try your muffin recipe. Sounds delicious. Thanks again.

          Hi Patrice,
          It takes practice getting sodium down to where it is most beneficial. Also, remember perfection is not expected. What I do want for each of you is that when you do over eat or choose less healthy foods, just get right back to work when you can. Practice, patience, and persistence is how we get long-term lifestyle compliance. Thanks for writing!

    The instructions don’t include the flax meal or the cranberries or pecans…. would have added if were in the instructions & marked optional.

    I made this the first time with frozen blueberries and it was wonderful. Then I got the idea that it might be good as a savory muffin without fruit, so this time I substituted frozen corn for the berries and it is sooooo good.
    Can’t thank you enough, Jill, for this fabulous, versatile recipe.

      Hi Karen,
      You can eat most fruits and veggies on a low oxalate. Here is a video on did for youtube that will talk about gluten free flours:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQyQdkAS_cQ

    These muffins are excellent. The refreshing bite of tart cranberry is a welcome change from the usual berries. I was able to order the oat bran cereal brand online and appreciate all the nutrition packed in each muffin.

    Thanks for your great insights, Jill – enjoy your recipes and You Tube chats!

“The Kidney Stone Diet is far more than just a diet; this plan is life-altering!”

“The group calls will transform you physically and emotionally. Once you start this journey, your health naturally improves. I have lost a total of 40 pounds and have consistently kept it off. The group calls are such support; this is more like family than a zoom meeting to stay accountable. Jill is far more than a nurse; she is a life coach. Her platform is invaluable.”

Kim J. | Kidney Stone Prevention Course

“The best decision I’ve made has been to join this group.”

“I have been working on weight loss for many years. This group has kept me on track and has helped my continued success with my weight loss.”

Kate L. | Group Calls with Jill

“I have been following the Meal Plan for about 6 weeks and I feel amazing.”

“Eating healthy has also encouraged me to go to bed earlier, so I am also getting more sleep. Because of that, I have been able to get up before work and exercise! So yes, the positive effects are spilling over into all areas of a healthy lifestyle.”

Jerry T. | Meal Plan Subscriber

“I have been a part of the group calls with Jill for the last 14 months, and they are essential to being so successful with the Kidney Stone Diet Prevention Plan.”

Sarah B. | Group Calls with Jill

“These calls are the gold of this program!!”

“I can’t say enough about how Jill knows just the right questions to ask us or how she prods us to think about what is going on in our lives.”

Monica K. | Group Calls with Jill

“I took the course with Jill, and my second 24 hour urine was MUCH better than the first.”

“She gives very practical information, and it WORKS. I was totally overwhelmed at first. I got very poor diet information from my doctors. Jill made it easy for me to understand, and I took it one day at a time. I still watch her videos when I need a tune-up. Jill is the best, and she really cares about all of us. Take the course—it will help you!!!”
