Ginger and Chocolate Muffins
- Number of Servings: 12
Ingredients
1 cup all purpose flour1 cup whole wheat flour1/4 cup ground flaxseeds1 cup oatmeal 2 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp baking soda1 tsp ground ginger1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate1/2 cup finely diced crystallized ginger1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce1 large egg1 1/2 cups low fat buttermilk1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 375 F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper or silicone muffin liners.
Combine all the dry ingredients and stir together. Add the chocolate and crystallized ginger and mix to coat with flour. Make a well in the centre and add the wet ingredients. Use a fork to scramble them together then mix into the dry ingredients until combined. Some dry streaks are okay, just make sure there isn't a big deposit of flour at the bottom of the bowl.
The batter for these muffins is incredibly thick. As in, you're going to be POSITIVE there is not enough liquid in the recipe. It's okay. It works. I promise =]
Scoop batter evenly into lined muffin cups (they might look overly full - again, it's okay. The muffins do NOT spread themselves to death in the oven) and bake for 20 - 25 minutes until lightly golden.
