Multigrain Muffins With Fruit Preserves Recipes

FRUITY MULTIGRAIN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Grease bottoms only of 12 medium muffin cups, 2 1/2x1 1/4 inches, or line with paper baking cups.
• Beat yogurt, brown sugar, oil and egg whites in large bowl with spoon. Stir in remaining ingredients except dried fruit and triticale just until flour is moistened. Fold in dried fruit and triticale.
• Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (cups will be very full). Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from pan.

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.

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.

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.

DRIED FRUIT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F. Lightly grease the cups of a standard 12-cup muffin pan. Or line the cups with papers, and grease the papers.
• Blend together the dry ingredients, add chopped fruit and stir.
• Beat the liquid ingredients together - milk, oil or butter, eggs, and vanilla - until light.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Take a fork or wire whisk and blend the two briefly - about 20 seconds should do it.
• Fill the cups of the muffin pan two-thirds to three-quarters full. Sprinkle with sparkling white sugar, if desired.
• Bake the muffins for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean. Remove them from the oven, and as soon as you can handle them turn them out of the pan onto a rack to cool.

MULTI-GRAIN BANANA MUFFINS (LOW FAT, TOO!)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine the oats and buttermilk in a small bowl; let these sit while you prepare the other ingredients.
• Mix the dry ingredients (including the cinnamon and nutmeg) together in a medium mixing bowl.
• Mash the banana until it's nearly smooth--measure once the fruit is mashed, of course.
• Add the egg, oil, sugar, and vanilla.
• After stirring those together, add in the oat-buttermilk mixture.
• Add the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring just until the dry ingredients are absorbed and no large lumps remain.
• Refrain from over-mixing.
• Grease twelve muffin cups.
• Spoon the batter in, filling the cups evenly to about 2/3 or 3/4 full.
• Bake 25-30 minutes, until the top is slightly springy when gently pushed with a finger.
