Complete with flaxseed and walnuts for omega-3s and whole wheat for fiber AND only a little sugar for a crunchy top, it makes it difficult to skip breakfast. I make a batch or two and freeze them, warming up in the microwave the morning. Ingredients:
3/4c whole wheat flour |
1/4c chopped cranberries |
2t flax seed |
1t ground cinnamon |
3/4t baking powder |
pinch ground nutmeg |
1/2c orange juice |
3/4 banana, chopped |
4 walnuts |
1t brown sugar |
Directions:
1. Measure out ingredients all ingredients except orange juice, walnuts and sugar then place in a large bowl.
2. Mix throughly.
3. Add the orange juice, mix long enough to dampen the dry ingredients but leave lumps. I almost always overmix, though. If overmixed, the muffins won't be as fluffy but they still taste great.
4. Pour mixture into greased muffin tins (but I use a mini loaf pan). Place 1 walnut ontop of each muffin (or across if in loaf pan) and gently push walnut down into the muffin mixture. Push batter ontop of the walnut to cover.
5. Sprinkle the brown sugar ontop of the muffins.
6. Place in 400F oven for 20 minutes, checking with a toothpick to see if they're done. I usually put them in a bit longer since I like a crunchy top.
