Mueslix Muffins

Ingredients:

Dry:

2 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1 cup organic granulated sugar

2 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. cinnamon

Wet:

2 eggs (room temperature) lightly beaten

1 cup butter milk

1/4 cup organic cream

1/4 cup melted butter

1 tsp vanilla extract (not vanillin)

Mix-ins:

1 cup mueslix

1/4 cup apple juice

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup walnuts (or nut of your choice)

1/4-1/2 cup raisins (soften with either apple juice or water then drain off the liquid)

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.

Butter your muffin tin carefully.

In medium size bowl, soak the mueslix in the apple juice.

In a large bowl,  sifting to aerate, stir with a clean dry whisk thoroughly combine dry ingredients

Combine the wet ingredients.

Stir wet into the dry, be careful not to over mix.  Fold rather than beat.  Use a whisk or spatula, not an electric mixer.

Add the mix-ins gently folding them in.

Fill muffin tins 3/4 full.

Bake for 25 min or until golden brown or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

These were very popular.  They were very filling and satisfying.  We ate them with some scrambled eggs and bacon.  Mueslix is a kind of a cereal medley usually served warm.  My batch had some dried fruit, nuts, and oat meal in it.
