Jam Filled Oat Bran Muffins image

I made these as I love muffins. I didn't have any oat bran, so used wheat instead, they are not overly sweet but surely do taste good regardless. A hot cup of tea and a muffin really hits the spot at this time of year. I got this recipe out of the Joy Of Vegan Baking. Because this makes 16 muffins, I made a dozen bite sized ones too. I didn't put jam in them, but topped them with some cinnamon sugar.

Time 32m

Yield 16 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons flax seeds (ground equals 2 eggs)
6 tablespoons water
2 cups oat bran
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour or 1 cup unbleached white flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar (firm pack ) or 1/2 cup dark brown sugar (firm pack )
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups soymilk or 1 1/4 cups other non-dairy milk substitute
1/3 cup vegetable oil or 1/3 cup other light oil
1 cup walnuts (chopped ) (optional)
1/2 cup jam (strawberry is good, but any will do and fruit sweetened if you can find it)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425'F.
  • Lightly grease your muffin tin(s).
  • In a med. size bowl with a hand mixer whip up the water and the flax seed meal. In about a couple of minutes this should become a thick and creamy liquid.
  • In a large bowl combine the oat bran, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl mix the flax seed mixture, milk and oil.
  • Stir in the walnuts if using and then add to the dry ingredients until just combined, don't over mix!
  • Fill your prepared muffin cups less then half full, then put a dab of your jam on top of the batter, then put more batter until the muffin cup is 2/3 full.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on how your oven is. I used a skewer to test the side to see if it was done. I didn't put it down the middle as the jam is there.
  • Cool the muffins in the tin for about 3 minutes, then remove to a rack to a wire cool.
  • Bon Appetit!
