Healthy Breakfast Muffins
- Minutes to Cook:
- Number of Servings: 24
Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour1 cup all-purpose flour1/2 cup oat flour or old-fashioned oats1/2 cup oat bran2 Tbsp wheat germ1 tsp salt2 tsp baking soda1 tsp baking powder2 tsp ground cinnamon1/4 tsp ground nutmeg2 egg whites2 bananas mashed1/2 cup applesauce1/2 cup ground flax seed1/2 cup granulated sugar1/2 cup brown sugar2 tsp double-strength vanilla2 cups grated zucchini1 cup grated carrot1/2 cup craisins (dried cranberries)1/4 cup chopped walnuts1/4 cup chopped pecans
1. Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix well.
2. Combine the rest of the ingredients in another bowl.
3. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
4. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees (I use a stoneware muffin pan, so your times may vary). Makes 24 regular sized muffins.
5. These also freeze well. Just let them cool completely on a wire rack before placing in a freezer bag, and then freeze. To serve from frozen, first peel off the liner, then microwave until warm. Enjoy!
(Note: I use a large food processor to make the prep easy. You can grind oats into a coarse oat "flour" with the chopping blade. You can also core and process a gala apple in place of the applesauce. For the zucchini, carrots, and apple - first process with the shredding/grating blade, then with the chopping blade until finely chopped.)
