Whole Grain Blueberry Muffins
Whole Grain Blueberry Muffins—healthier, more delicious, and so much more than basic.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1/4 cup flax meal
- 1 tsp baking poder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup buttermilk (or add 1 1/2 tsp vinegar to 1/2 cup milk and let stand for 10 minutes)
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup blueberries (if you're using frozen, let them thaw before adding)
Equipment
- muffin tin
- measuring cups and spoons
- large bowl
- medium bowl
- mixing spoon
- toothpick to test for doneness
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375° F. Lightly grease or line a muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, oats, flax meal, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
- In another bowl, mix together the applesauce, sugar, buttermilk, vegetable oil and egg.
- Gently shake the dry ingredients into the wet, giveing the mixture a stir every few shakes. Stir in the blueberries.
- Pour the batter evenly into the muffin tin cups, filling only two-thirds of the way, and pop them in the oven for 20 minutes. They're done when they're firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
The kids and I were over at my friend Victoria's for a playdate one morning when she pointed out that our site (Sweet Potato Chronicles) didn't have a basic blueberry muffin recipe. So off I went to the kitchen to experiment. But thinking of Victoria's beautiful kids, I decided basic wouldn't cut it. These are the muffins—healthier, more delicious and so much more than basic—that I came up with. This recipe's so easy it's ideal for making with kids.
