BREAKFAST
BLUEBERRY WALNUT HEALTH MUFFINS
1 cup whole wheat (unbleached) all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 eggbeaters (mixed)
1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup molasses
1 cup vanilla rice milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries
Start with preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Then find a large bowl, and mix all your flours, as well as the baking powder and salt. Next, stir in your healthy walnuts. In a separate bowl, mix your eggbeaters, oil, and molasses. Then add in your vanilla rice milk and vanilla extract. Mix your dry ingredients with your liquid. Finally, add the blueberries.
Line your muffin cups with paper liners, (or even better for the environment), use_____ that will protect against sticking. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or (depending on the oven) check the muffins with a tookpick inserted into the center and see if it comes out clean, and the top lightly browned. Remove the muffins from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, then transfer them onto a cooking rack.
Enjoy!
