apple-blueberry-oatmeal muffins
Originally this recipe called for pears. I never have pears on hand so I’ve always substituted an apple instead. These are a great treat and pretty healthy. Bella loves them and so does Dom.
I sometimes substitute whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour and add 1/4 cup of ground flax seeds to make them a little healthier still.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups old fashioned oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 cups whole milk
3/4 cups packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup golden raisins (optional)
Topping:
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup sliced almonds
Directions:
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375. Grease 12 cup muffin tin.
Combine dry ingredients in large bowl (flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and salt). Combine milk, oil, eggs and sugar in another bowl until smooth. Add wet mixture to dry and stir until combined then add berries, apples and raisins.
Spoon batter into muffin tin. Mix sugar, cinnamon and almonds and sprinkle on top of muffins.Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
Cool in tin for about 5 minutes and then transfer to wire rack and cool another 10 minutes. Eat and enjoy.
