Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour1 cup all-purpose flour1/2 cup oat flour (old-fashioned oats ground in food processor)1/4 cup old fashioned oats (whole)1/2 cup oat bran1/4 cup wheat germ1/2 cup ground flax meal1/2 cup granulated sugar1/2 cup brown sugar1 tsp salt2 tsp baking soda1 tsp baking powder1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts2 tsp cinnamon1/4 tsp nutmeg2 egg whites2 mashed bananas2/3 cup applesauce (or 1 fairly large gala apple, cored, grated, and finely chopped in food procesor)2 cups grated zucchini1 cup grated carrot1/2 cup blueberries1/4 cup craisins2 tsp double-strength vanilla
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Combine all wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
4. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Mix well.
5. Line muffin pan with liners and fill each cup almost to the top (these don't rise a terrific amount).
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes. I use a stoneware muffin pan, so your times may differ.
7. Cool on a wire rack, then bag and freeze.
8. To serve, peel the liner off frozen muffin and microwave until warm.
(Note: The zucchini, carrots, and apple (if using fresh) are very easy to prepare if you have a food processor. I first processed them with the shredding/grating blade, then again with the chopping blade until they were finely chopped. I also used the chopping blade of my food processor to grind 1/2 cup old fashioned oats into a coarse oat "flour.")

     It takes a while to put these together but they are really really good and filling. I will add more cinnamon the next time and grate the vegetables smaller. I didn't get quite 30 muffins so be sure to adjust the calorie count if you get less. Definatly make these again. - 10/27/08

     I love all the healthy ingredients in this recipe. I made them on Sunday and plan to grab one on my way to work in the mornings. I'm hoping it will sustain me until lunch. Not sure they will, but they are good. - 11/10/08

    I often have one of these muffins, a banana, and a small glass of juice for breakfast and it keeps me until lunch. I'm glad you like them!

     This looks great-I never thought of putting veggies in w/ the fruit but...why not?! This are all ingredients that I use quite often-except for the walnuts(too expensive and/or hard to find here in Brazil). I hope to make these soon. - 10/21/08

     Wonderful and a quick breakfast. Well worth the time to make them. - 4/14/09

     I substituted almond meal for the oat flour, and chocolate chips (!) for the blueberries. Even more than "how will they taste" I'm asking myself "how many calories did I burn putting those muffins together?" They are delicious. Even the kids like 'em! - 12/31/08

     SO DELICIOUS!(and healthy) :) Used only organic ingredients. Added A couple tbsp of Chia Seeds,used 1/4 cup granulated sugar & 1/4 cup Truvia,organic coconut oil to grease cupcake liners(kept muffins from sticking 100%!)Omitted wheat germ & will probably add more craisins & blueberries next time. - 4/11/13
  • VEGGIEDIVA
     A lenghty ingredient list, but these come out so yummy! I had all the ingredients and made 24 muffins. Next time I'll spray the tins instead of using paper muffin liners (I loose too much muffin to the liner!). So good and totally guiltless! - 10/1/12
  • HEALTHYVTGIRL
     These muffins are pretty tasty and worth the time it takes getting everything together. My food processor made it a huge difference. I made 2 dozen instead. I will say that these muffins are pretty sticky, so if I make them again, I will spray the liners first so I don't lose chunks of muffin! - 6/1/12
  • CHATTYKELL
     Can't get enough of these - YUM!!! The whole family loves them - even my teenage son, who doesn't eat many fruits/veggies! I'll definitely be sharing this YUMMY recipe with family! I made 20 muffins, and adjusted the cal count to 150. Well worth extra calories!!! - 1/13/12
  • MAMAEDS

  • LIVES4CHRIST

  • LLOU88
     Very delicious!!! When I read all of the great comments I got over buying wheat germ & all of the other MANY ingredients needed. I used the cereal Cracklin Oat Bran for oat bran & it worked wonderfully!! I dissolved so nicely. I only made half of the batch since it was my first time to make. - 7/20/11
