Chocolate Flecked Multigrain Muffins Recipes

HEALTHY MULTIGRAIN MUFFINS

Steps:

• 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.

APPLESAUCE MULTIGRAIN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Line twelve muffin cups with paper baking cups or lightly oil bottoms only.
• Prepare topping. Mix oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Add melted butter and mix well.
• Prepare muffins. Mix oats, flour, baking powder and soda, and cinnamon in a bowl. In separate bowl, mix applesauce, milk, brown sugar, oil, and egg. Add to dry ingredients and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.
• Fill cups with mix (fills to about 3/4 full), and top each muffin with topping. Then bake 18-20 minutes. Serve warm if possible. Yum! Simple and delicious.

MULTIGRAIN MUFFIN

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 12 (1/2-cup) muffin cups with paper liners.
• Whisk flours, oat bran, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
• Lightly beat the eggs and egg white in a medium bowl. Stir in the buttermilk, brown sugar, and oil. Stir the liquid mixture into the flour mixture until just evenly moist; the batter will be very thick. Fold in the dried fruit. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Top with the walnuts. Bake until firm when pressed gently, about 25 minutes. Turn the muffins out of the cups and cool on a rack; serve warm or room temperature.

MOIST CHOCOLATE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
• Combine flour, sugar, 3/4 cup chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk egg, yogurt, milk, vanilla, and vegetable oil in another bowl until smooth; pour into chocolate mixture and stir until batter is just blended. Fill prepared muffin cups 3/4 full and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips.
• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
