GRANOLA OR MUESLI MUFFINS



Granola or Muesli Muffins image

Another from Nigella Lawson's Feast cookbook. You can use granola or muesli interchangeably here. There was more batter than I usually get for a 12 muffin recipe so I kept filling up the cups more and filled them nearly to the top with some batter still left over but not much. The muffins did not rise much so I guess this was the right thing to do. These are tasty little treats that are also good for you. Enjoy!

GRANOLA MUFFINS



Granola Muffins image

Great muffin to make for breakfast or anytime. SUPER easy and the kids love it!! I tweaked another recipe that I found posted here...omitting some fat and adding a few other ingredients. They freeze well, too. I used Quaker Natural Granola with Oats, Honey & Raisins because that is what I had on hand. The slivered almonds are really yummy in the muffins. And, I also 'made' my own buttermilk by adding 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to regular skim milk before combining the wet ingredients.

GRANOLA MUFFINS



Granola Muffins image

These muffins are ludicrously easy to make. It's just a matter of mixing flour, baking soda and a pinch of salt in one bowl; stirring together buttermilk, an egg, vegetable oil and sugar in another; then combining the two. At the end, fold in some granola, though if you wanted to cut out one step, you could add the granola along with the flour in the bowl of dry ingredients. Bake and eat 20 minutes or so after you've taken them out of the oven. You can even measure out all the ingredients the night before, so all you need to do upon waking is stumble into the kitchen, switch on the oven and stir everything together.

PEAR AND GRANOLA MUFFINS



PEAR AND GRANOLA MUFFINS image

Categories     Bread     Fruit     Breakfast

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup plain granola
2 D'Anjou pears (2 cups), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
FOR GRANOLA CRISP TOPPING
(or use an additional 3/4 cup plain granola)
1/2 cup granola
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, yogurt, and butter. Make a well in the center of flour mixture. Add egg mixture to well, and mix in flour mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the granola and pears. Make Granola Crisp Topping: In a bowl, toss together 1/2 cup granola, 1/4 cup each all-purpose flour and packed light-brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut 3 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter into pieces; add to granola mixture, and rub in with fingertips until clumps form. Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each 3/4 full. Sprinkle with granola topping. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for a sweeter, more flavorful muffin.
  • Add a variety of nuts and seeds for extra crunch and flavor. Some popular options include walnuts, almonds, pecans, chia seeds, and flax seeds.
  • If you don't have any rolled oats, you can use quick oats instead. Just be sure to reduce the baking time by a few minutes.
  • Be sure to grease the muffin tins well before filling them with batter. This will help prevent the muffins from sticking.
  • Fill the muffin tins about 2/3 full. This will give the muffins room to rise.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the muffin tins for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Granola muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a variety of flavors and textures, granola muffins are a great way to start your day or enjoy as a midday snack. These muffins are also a great way to use up leftover granola, so don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors and combinations.
