BOB'S RED MILL WHEAT GERM AND CORNMEAL MUFFINS



Bob's Red Mill Wheat Germ and Cornmeal Muffins image

Printed on the back of a package of Bob's Red Mill brand wheat germ. The amount of unbleached white flour was cut in half and the other half replaced with whole wheat flour. Although it requires another step, toasting the wheat germ gives it a nutty, crunchy texture.

Time 35m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup wheat germ, toasted
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons sugar (if you prefer the muffins sweeter, I'm sure you could safely add up to 1/3 cup sugar)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup butter, melted, cooled slightly
1 cup milk or 1 cup buttermilk
wheat germ, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • To toast the wheat germ, heat up a dry cast iron skillet on low or low-medium heat and toast the wheat germ for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir constantly and reduce heat if necessary. Wheat germ burns easily and quickly. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine both flours, wheat germ, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • In a small glass container, whisk together the egg, butter and milk.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the egg mixture into the well. Stir *just* until combined; batter will be lumpy.
  • Grease muffin tins or line with paper bake cups. Fill 2/3 full. If desired, sprinkle a light dusting of wheat germ on top of each muffin.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Serve immediately.

WHEAT GERM AND CORNMEAL MUFFINS



Wheat Germ and Cornmeal Muffins image

I have a muffin tin with square cups in it and the bottoms have little metal inserts that come out. I decided to use this pan to make square muffins for a change. These muffins are light and fluffy but have a bit of a crunch from the cornmeal. You could add some nuts or raisins to these if you wish.

1/2 c cornmeal
1 beaten egg
1/4 c coconut oil (liquid)
2 Tbsp xylitol
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat your oven to 400'F. I put my temperature to 375'F because I live at 5,000 feet.

  • 3. Combine the egg and milk, then mix in the coconut oil.
  • 4. Stir the liquid ingredients well and then make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the liquid in all at once.
  • 5. Combine the liquid with the dry ingredients until just incorporated. The batter should be lumpy.
  • 6. Fill each muffin cup 2/3 full.
  • 7. Bake for 20 minutes or until the tops of the muffins are lightly browned.
  • 8. Serve warm plain or with a little vegan margarine or jam. Enjoy!
