Description

A pumpkin muffin jam-packed with nourishing and healthy whole grains, flax, dried fruit and nuts! Very versatile. I used items I had on hand.

Ingredients

  • 1-¼ cup Unbleached White Flour
  • ½ cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • ½ cups Flaxseed Meal
  • ¾ cups Old Fashioned Oats (quick Oats Will Probably Work Fine Too)
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 dash Nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ cups Nuts (I Used Walnuts)
  • ½ cups Dried Cranberries
  • ½ cups Whole Dates, Chopped (optional)
  • ¾ cups Milk Kefir (or Whatever Milk You Choose, The Flavor Will Be A Little Different)
  • ¾ cups Canned Pumpkin
  • 2  Eggs
  • ⅓ cups Applesauce Or Good Quality Oil (coconut Or Olive)
  • 1 teaspoon Good Vanilla

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix the first 10 dry ingredients together (flour through salt) in a large bowl. Fold in the nuts, berries and dates if using.

Combine milk, pumpkin, lightly beaten eggs, applesauce and vanilla in a small bowl. Add this into the dry ingredient bowl and still gently until ingredients are moistened. Do not over mix. Batter will be very thick.

Fill greased muffin cups 3/4 full. I ended up with 17 standard size muffins. Bake at 350 F for 15-18 minutes. Remove from oven.

Enjoy warm with a spread of real grass fed homemade butter! A delicious healthy Saturday morning breakfast!

Tips:
1. These did first come out a bit dry so I added the option of applesauce or oil. You may need to add 1/4-1/2 cup more milk/water if desired.
2. Don’t over mix or over bake.
3. Adapted from Bob’s Red Mill Bran Flax muffins.
