Yummy with all the oats and just a hint of orange; moist and not too sweet - a big favorite around our home. I suppose you should keep leftovers refrigerated in a sealed container, but don't know - we never have any left over! Based on a recipe from Oat Cuisine. (Edited to emphasize that these are *not intended* to be super-sweet muffins. My kiddos like them without the extra sweetness and for that I am oh-so-grateful! ;o) If you are looking for a less sweet muffin, this is for you.)
Ingredients:
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/3 cups wheat bran
1 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup skim milk
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (i use canola)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1/2 cup raisins (i use golden sultanas)
Directions:
1. Spray muffin pan (12 muffin size) with cooking spray.
2. Combine dry ingredients in large bowl and mix well.
3. In separate bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except raisins; blend well.
4. Add liquid mixture and raisins to dry mixture; mix until ingredients are moistened.
5. Divide among muffin cups (Recipe originally said 10, I divide among 12 and it works fine).
6. Smooth top slightly.
7. At this point I sprinkle them with a little more cinnamon Bake at 400 for 20-25 min, or until center comes clean on toothpick/knife.
8. Cool on rack.
