Delicious mornings

Niagara peaches and muffins.  Yum x 2

I may have shared this recipe before under another the Simply Irresistible tab (watch for a new blog look coming soon), but it is worth repeating.  These muffins are simple and "healthy".  There is sugar in them and I haven't played around to try and find a way to replace the sugar with a better alternative.  But they have lots of good things in them that I like to think balances out the sugar bit. 

Healthy Raisin Bran Muffins

1 cup light or dark brown sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil (or canola oil)

1 cup buttermilk 

1 egg

2 tbsp cooking molasses

1 1/2 cups natural bran

1/2 cup wheat germ

2/3 cup all purpose flour or whole wheat flour (or a mixture)

1/4 cup sesame seeds

1 tsp flax seeds

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 cup raisins (or any dried fruit that you like, or a mixture)

Note:  You can add any nuts combination of raisins or nuts that you like.  I often add pumpkin seeds for an extra crunch.

In a large bowl mix ingredients together in order listed until moistened.  Divide batter into 12 muffin pans lined with paper cups.  Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes.
