Ingredients:
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup unbleached white flour
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 1/2 cups unprocessed oat bran ( or wheat bran)
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons molasses
2/3 cup applesauce
1 1/3 cups low-fat milk
1/2 cup carrots, finely grated
1 cup blueberries ( fresh or frozen, both work just fine)
1/2 cup fresh fruit, chopped
Directions:
preheat oven to 375 (F).
in a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients (first 8 ingredients).
in another large bowl combine the wet ingredients (next 6 ingredients).
pour the wet into the dry and mix until just combined.
gently stir in the carrots and fruit.
scoop batter into muffin tins, filling each cup to the top.
baking time seems to vary and i’m not entirely sure why but set the timer for 20 minutes and check on the muffins every 5 minutes after that. it’ll probably take about 40 minutes. basically, you want your muffins to pass the old toothpick test. keep in mind though, a little underdone is ok as these freeze and reheat wonderfully.
