Four Grain Muffins Recipes

GREAT GRAINS MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400*. Line a muffin tin with paper cups.
• Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk with the maple syrup, eggs, and butter.
• Pour the liquids over the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Don't overmix - these are muffins; they don't need to be real smooth. Stir in the fruit.
• Spoon the batter into the muffin cups and bake for about 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into one of the muffins comes out clean. Cool well before removing from the pan.
• Eat fresh or wrap and freeze for another time. These rewarm perfectly in the microwave, or you can just defrost them on the counter for an hour or so.

• Preheat oven to 375 degree F.
• Grease muffin tin (I like to use a silicone muffin pan) or line muffin tin with paper cups.
• Whisk together flours, oat bran, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt.
• Lightly beat the egg and egg whites. Stir in the buttermilk, applesauce, almond and vanilla extracts, brown sugar, and oil.
• Stir the liquids into the dry ingredients, until almost combined (batter will be thick), being careful not to over-mix. Gently stir in the dried fruit and nuts.
• Fill muffin cups about ¾ full. Bake until tester is clean, about 23 minutes.
• After a few minutes, remove muffins from the pan, and cool on a rack. You can serve them room temperature, or re-warm them in a toaster oven.
