Wheat Muffins
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups plain wheat germ
1 cup nonfat milk
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup blueberries
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line muffin tin with paper liners.
- Mix together wheat germ and milk, and let stand for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix together applesauce, egg, brown sugar, and vanilla.
- Sift in all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in bran mixture until just blended. Fold in blueberries.
- Scoop into muffin cups.
- Bake in oven for 17 to 20 minutes, or until tops spring back when lightly tapped.
*You can also make these even better for your digestive tract using wheat bran instead of wheat germ (same quantity in recipe); however, wheat bran can be very difficult to find in your typical grocery chain.*
