Introduction

These muffins are loaded with whole grains, fruits, and vegetables! This is a slightly different version of my Healthy Breakfast Muffins. This recipe made 32 regular sized muffins. Depending on how full you fill the muffin cups, I'd say you should get 28 - 32 muffins. Nutritional value is calculated on 30 servings (1 muffin = 1 serving).

Ingredients

    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup oat flour (old-fashioned oats ground in food processor)
    1/4 cup old fashioned oats (whole)
    1/2 cup oat bran
    1/4 cup wheat germ
    1/2 cup ground flax meal
    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    1 tsp salt
    2 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp baking powder
    1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
    2 tsp cinnamon
    1/4 tsp nutmeg
    2 egg whites
    2 mashed bananas
    2/3 cup applesauce (or 1 fairly large gala apple, cored, grated, and finely chopped in food procesor)
    2 cups grated zucchini
    1 cup grated carrot
    1/2 cup blueberries
    1/4 cup craisins
    2 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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    These were very tasty and moist muffins. I didn't have oat bran, wheat germ or ground flax meal so I used Wheat Bran and milled flax seed and it worked just fine. I also used 1 whole egg vs two whites based on what was on hand. My recipe made 24 muffins. - 9/27/10

    Made these muffins yesterday.,for our teenage daughter because she doesn't like eating breakfast foods. I hit the jackpot, all of our children love them. My husband even likes them. I didn't have zucchini so I used all carrots and used wheat bran instead of oat bran. So worth the time to make! - 1/8/10

    Really enjoyed these muffins. Makes alot! Time consuming but I mixed the batter up the night before which helped. Subbed WW four for the bran and raspberries for the blueberries. NO nuts cuz I don't like them in my food. Will hang onto this recipe :) - 12/6/09
