Healthy Nut Muffins (dairy free)

Sometimes you come across a recipe that is so good that you feel almost guilty for not sharing it...like your keeping a secret that could change somebody's life. Well, that is the case with these muffins. My family loves them so I thought I'd share!


Healthy Nut Muffins
Adapted from this recipe on AllRecipes.com

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup oat bran
1/4 cup cooking oats
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 banana mashed
1/2 cup honey
1 cup milk (we use almond milk)
1 egg
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup blueberries (or dark chocolate chips!)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

1- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare muffin tins (12-14 muffins).
2- In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients (flour, oat bran, oats, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, salt).
3- In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients (banana, honey, milk, egg, oil, vanilla).
4- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir together. Fold in blueberries (or chocolate chips) and nuts. Spoon into muffin cups.
5- Bake at 350 for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops spring back when touched.
