FLAX, OAT BRAN, BUCKWHEAT, & PUMPKIN MUFFINS



Flax, Oat Bran, Buckwheat, & Pumpkin Muffins image

This recipe is adapted from the a recipe found on the Red Mill, ground Flax meal bag. For a bran muffin, these babies are moist and very tasty. I've cut the white flour by half, and added an equal amount of buckwheat flour. I've also added a can of pumpkin and reduced the amount of milk. These muffins are so fresh and moist that they will only last a few days, so I freeze what we won't eat in a couple of days.

Pumpkin-Apple Bran Muffins image

Healthy yet tasty bran muffins made with whole wheat and added flavor from pumpkin puree and shredded or chopped apples. Easy to alter to suit your tastes, as well.

Provided by jlk03090

Categories     Breads

Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup milled flax seed
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup wheat bran
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 dash salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
1 medium apple, shredded or diced
1/4 cup soymilk
3 tablespoons egg substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Combine all dry ingredients and all wet ingredients, excluding the pumpkin and apple, in two seperate mixing bowls.
  • Add to the dry ingredients the pumpkin and apple, and mix until combined well.
  • Add the wet ingredients to this mixture.
  • Spray with cooking spray your muffin pan or loaf pan, and bake for 30 minutes at 350, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Note that these don't rise much and stay a relatively dark color; they are a moist muffin.
  • Additional Notes: May be beneficial to use half whole wheat flour and half white or all purpose, so they rise more/are a bit lighter. They taste great but aren't the prettiest things ;-) I ended up dividing the batter between three mini loaf "pans" instead of muffins, but it should make about 12 medium sized muffins.
