2c flour
1/2c healthy dry
stuff
1/2c yummy bits
1/2c sugar (can
replace with 2tsp stevia)
2tsp baking
powder
1tsp baking soda
1/2tsp salt
2 eggs
1/4c oil or
melted butter
1c wet gooey
stuff
??? enough milk or juice to make everything wet
(I start
with 1/2c and add more if I need it)
Definitions:
Healthy dry stuff- oats, whole-wheat flour, bran and ground
flax ect.
Yummy bits- chocolate chips, dried cranberries, nuts,
raisins, dates, diced up fruit like oranges or apples. Use your
imagination…that’s the fun part of cooking!
Wet gooey stuff- mashed banana, apple sauce, shredded carrot,
shredded zucchini or pumpkin puree. Use anything you want that is wet, gooey
and YUMMY.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Set out your muffin tin and place one liner in each hole.
In a large bowl add your dry ingredients and stir with a
whisk.
In another large bowl add all your wet ingredients and stir
with a rubber spatula.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry
ingredients. Stir with a rubber spatula. Don’t stir too much, just until
everything looks wet and gooey. If it looks too dry add more milk or juice. It
should look wet and gooey NOT RUNNY so only add a little liquid at a time.
Scoop out the mix with an ice cream scoop and place one scoop
in each lined muffin tin. Put the filled tin in the oven. Set your timer for 25
minutes.
When the timer goes off peek inside the oven to see if the
muffins look done. You can check them with a tooth- pick or carefully touch the
top like I showed you. You may want mom or dad to help you with this part.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a bit. Then gobble them
up!
I LOVE pumpkin spice muffins for a snack in the fall. I use oatmeal as my healthy dry stuff and pumpkin puree (canned works great!) for my wet gooey stuff. I don't use any yummy bits because you don't need them but I do add 1tbsp of cinnamon and 1/4tsp of nutmeg. They are especially yummy with a dollop of icing on top once they've cooled :-)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite muffin flavours is cheddar, bacon and chive! I use shredded cheddar mixed in buttermilk (or milk) as my wet gooey stuff and then bacon and chives as my yummy bits. So delicious for breakfast or instead of a sandwich at lunch.
* I use only 1/8c of sugar
* for the healthy dry stuff I use whole wheat flour or just regular white flour.
