Re: HEALTHY Muffin Recipes
Basic Whole Wheat Muffins
Ingredients:
1 c. whole wheat flour
½ c. wheat germ
½ c. ground flax seed
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp cloves
1/3 c. honey or brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 c. milk with a tsp. of lemon juice OR plain yogurt OR buttermilk
3 Tbsp oil or melted butter
Chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Mix dry ingredients in bowl. Make a well in center.
2. Add honey, egg, milk, and oil to the well.
3. Stir until moistened.
4. Fold in chocolate chips.
5. Fill greased muffin cups ½ full. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes.
NOTES: Sometimes I bump up the sugar/honey to 1/2 cup instead of 1/3. If I use brown sugar instead of honey, I add it with the dry ingredients. You can use any oil. I've used olive, coconut, and safflower. I also like to use butter. I can't tell the difference in the outcome. If I use yogurt, I usually do half yogurt and half milk or water so it's not so thick. I've also made this with rice milk back when my oldest was dairy free. You can use 2 cups of flour (white or wheat) if you don't have wheat germ or flax seed. I use white whole wheat as opposed to red whole wheat.
