My yummy nutritious muffins

Due to several requests, I am happily posting my muffins recipe on my blog. Let me know if you try these and what you think! The original recipe is from www.americastestkitchen.com

Banana Muffins
2 C all-purpose flour (I usually use 1 C mixed grain flour, ½ C hard white wheat flour, and ½ C all-purpose flour. If I am serving these to others other than my kids, I do 1 C all-purpose flour and 1/2 C mixed grain flour and 1/2 C hard white wheat flour.)
½ C sugar (I use ¼ C raw sugar and ¼ C honey)
¾ tsp baking soda
¾ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt (I use sea salt)
3 very ripe bananas mashed well (appx 1 ½ C)
6 T butter, melted and cooled (I use 4 T olive oil)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
¼ C plain yogurt (I use buttermilk)
1 tsp vanilla
1 C chopped nuts, optional (I use walnuts)
½ C chocolate chips, optional
1/2 C natural peanut butter, for banana-peanut butter-chocolate chip muffins

Whisk the dry ingredients together. Mix bananas, eggs, honey, sugar, yogurt, butter or oil, (peanut butter if using it) and vanilla together in a separate mixing bowl. Gently fold the banana mixture with the flour mixture. Then fold in nuts and chocolate chips. Do not over mix.
Bake in a greased muffin pan at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until tooth pick comes out clean or with only a few crumbs on it.

Pumpkin Muffins (apply to recipe above)
Instead of bananas, use 1 ½ C cooked pureed pumpkin. Then add:
2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp all spice
1/8 tsp cloves
Increase the sugar to 2/3 C sugar (1/3 C raw sugar and 1/3 C honey)

Blueberry Muffins
Instead of bananas, use
1 C defrosted or fresh blueberries
1 C applesauce

Apple Muffins
Instead of bananas:
¾ C bottled apples or sautéed apples
¾ C applesauce
Fill muffin tin with batter ¾ full. Add crumb topping on top of each muffin batter before baking.

Crumb topping (24 muffins)
2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp all spice
1/8 tsp cloves
1 C rolled oats
3 T raw sugar or brown sugar
3 T mixed grain flour
¼ C melted butter

Mixed grain flour
Equal portions of the following grains put through a grain mill:
soft white wheat
buckwheat groats
oat groats
brown rice
millet
kamut
popcorn
rye
spelt
barley

If you don't want to use all ten of these, you can start with maybe buckwheat, brown rice, barley, oat groats, and millet. Add a grain or two as you go. Or you can just use half white flour and half wheat flour. It's up to you! Enjoy!!!
