Lisa Tries... Morning Glory Muffins

Recipe: Morning Glory Muffins
By: Cooking Light, July 2007


What you need:
1c whole wheat flour
1/2c all-purpose flour
1c regular oats
3/4c packed brown sugar
1 tbsp wheat bran
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1c plain fat free yogurt
1c mashed ripe banana
1 large egg
1c pitted dated (I used Newman's Own Organic Raisins)
3/4c chopped walnuts
1/2c chopped dried pineapple
3tbsp ground flaxseed

What to do:
Preheat oven to 350 and coat muffin pan with cooking spray.  You can use muffin liners but I did not because I do not like fighting with them. 

In a large bowl combine flours and next five ingredients, stir.  Then make a well in the center of the mixture and combine yogurt, banana, egg, stirring until moist.  Fold in dates (I used raisins), walnuts, pineapples.  Spoon mixture into muffin pan and sprinkle each with a little bit of flaxseed.

Bake for 20mins.
(I am a very messy baker but a neat cook.)

These smell fantastic while baking and taste scrumptous!!  They are hearty and sweet.  I think next time I will not use the pineapple because it tends to make it a bit too sweet for me.  They are easy to make and pretty healthy-ish too.  Definitely a keeper.
