I have a muffin cookbook I received years ago and I've used it so much that it's falling apart. The book is called "Gloria's Glorious Muffins," by Gloria Ambrosia. The book is comprised of muffins made with no refined sugar and lots of whole grains, fruits and nuts. They are NOT intended to be low-fat muffins, but they are definitely nutrition powerhouses.
So this morning, inspired by Yogabuddy's facebook post yesterday about blueberry muffins, I whipped out the book and subsequently these muffins.
Blue Morning Muffins
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
3/4 C whole-wheat flour
1 C unbleached white flour
3/4 C blue or yellow cornmeal
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
Sift all these dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Toss in:
1 1/4 C fresh or frozen blueberries
Stir them around to coat them with flour so they won't bleed too much into the rest of the muffin.
Whisk together in a smaller bowl:
1/2 C applesauce (which I made from two apples that were getting soft...I just peeled them and simmered them with a little lemon juice, adjusting the sweetness with a little agave--because one was a Granny Smith apple)
1 C milk-soy or cows
1/4 C Canola oil
1 egg-a nice, fresh yogabuddy chicken egg, I might add...
1/2 C blueberry or grape all-fruit preserves
1 tsp vanilla
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until all the flour is moistened. Do Not Overmix!
Spoon the batter in equal amounts into paper-lined or greased muffin tins. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool in the tin for another 15-20 minutes. Brush the tops with a little Canola oil.
