Grainy Goodness Muffins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray muffin cups with baking spray, or line with muffin liners. I line my pans, then spray the liners! That way you won’t lose any crumbs.

In a large bowl whisk your dry ingredients. In a large glass measuring cup,whisk the buttermilk, maple syrup, eggs, and melted butter.

Make a small well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet. With a whisk or rubber spatula, stir till JUST COMBINED. Do NOT overmix. If it’s a little lumpy yet, you did just fine! Stir in any desired fruit or nuts.

Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups. (A large cookie scoop works great!)

Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until the tops have a hint of golden brown to them, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Transfer the pan to a wire rack. After five minutes, gently lift each muffin out of its mold and finish cooling on a wire rack. Or serve warm with butter or a slice of good cheese!
