This is a new muffin recipe that I got off of New Nostalgia and it has replaced our old 50/50 muffins my mom always made when I was growing up! (Sorry, mom! ; )
I have changed the recipe so that it make 18 muffins. With my size family, 12 is just never enough! ;)
Here's what you need:
1 1/2 c. oats
1 1/2 c. buttermilk
Soak these together about 30-60 minutes before you make these ( I rarely remember that far in advance and they always turn out! Mine probably soak for about 10 minutes most days. ; )
1/2 c. shortening/oil--I use FULL substitution with black bean puree
3/4 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
Cream together shortening (puree) with sugar and eggs. Add in dry ingredients and stir. Add buttermilk mixture. Stir until moist. Can add blueberries, if desired.
Bake at 400 for 9-11 minutes.
These are so delicious right out of the oven with my favorite strawberry freezer jam. My kids (who you might see as totally brainwashed ; ) think these are a total treat. I make them a lot for their after school snack.
I do firmly believe that you can change your family's "sugar-meter"...if they aren't pouring Pixie sticks down their throats all the time, then something like this muffin can actually taste sweet to them.
Just so you know...my kids do enjoy a Pixie stick every once in a while! ;) Just not very often.
