Fantastic muffins! From a newspaper last fall. I think this should be attributed to the Associated Press. The recipe says you can add 1 cup of raspberries, blueberries or blackberries but I've never tried it.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup wheat germ
2 large eggs
1/2 cup plain soymilk or 1/2 cup vanilla-flavored soymilk
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup almond oil or 1/2 cup corn oil
1 orange, zest of
1 cup slivered almonds, roasted
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F Line a 12-muffin pan with paper muffin cups.
2. Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into a bowl.
3. Stir in 3/4 cup wheat germ, and set aside.
4. In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, juice, sugar and oil.
5. Add dry ingredients all at once and stir lightly until liquid is absorbed; batter will be lumpy.
6. Stir in orange zest and 3/4 cup almonds.
7. Divide batter among muffin cups and sprinkle tops with remaining almonds and wheat germ.
8. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
9. Remove from pan and let cool.
