Muffins Made With Beans Recipes

BAKED BEAN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F. Put the beans (and the sauce they're packed in), pumpkin puree or banana, brown sugar, milk, oil, eggs and vanilla into a blender or food processor and pulse or blend until smooth, scraping down the sides if necessary.
• Add the oats, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, baking soda and salt and pulse until the oats are fairly finely ground. Let the batter sit for about 10 minutes (the oats will soften a bit), and blend again. Take off the lid and if you like, stir in some raisins before scooping or pouring into the muffin tins.
• Pour or scoop into greased or paper-lined muffin tins, filling them all the way to the top. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until raised, golden and springy to the touch. Makes 12 muffins or about 24 mini muffins.

RAISIN BRAN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Stir oil, egg, and sugar into cereal mixture. Fold in flour mixture. Divide batter among cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in tin 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack; let cool completely, or serve warm. Store up to 5 days at room temperature in a resealable plastic bag.

BEST EVER MUFFINS

Steps:
