Muffin lady

This afternoon I whipped up some muffins using Bob's oat bran mix. I followed the recipe with one exception, I substituted applesauce for the oil, but of course, don't I use applesauce for everything.

I also added about a cup of frozen blueberries.

They were just okay, not great, but okay.

I don't know that I would make them again. They were simple to make and that's a good thing. But I feel like I could have made better one's from scratch.

Blueberry muffin coffee cake

This afternoon I found some time to do some baking.

I made blueberry coconut coffee cake muffins. They are a cross between a muffin and coffee cake, which makes them the perfect combo.

1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup oat bran
1/2 cup regular oats
1/4 cup sucant or other sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
mix dry ingredients together

1/3 cup pear sauce
1/3 cup raspberry applesauce
1 cup soymilk or milk of your choice
1 TB. coconut butter
mix together and add to dry ingredients

stir in 1 cup blueberries
add to muffin tins and sprinkle unsweetened coconut on top
bake at 325 degrees for 15 min.

Muffin making

This morning I made some blueberry coconut lemon muffins.

Mix together
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup oat bran
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2/3 cup non fat dry milk

In a separate bowl mix
1/3 cup coconut butter
1/2 cup sugar of choice (I used evaporated cain juice)
the juice of 2 lemons
1/3 cup applesauce (I used a mix of pear sauce and raspberry applesauce, that's what I had)

Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients
add in 1 cup blueberries (I forgot this part)
add to muffin tins (I added some blueberries on top, since I forgot to mix them in)

Streusel topping
2 TB. sugar
2 TB. whole wheat pastry flour
2 TB. coconut butter
3 TB. oats
1 tsp. cinnamon

Add streusel to the top of each muffin
and bake at 350 degrees for 22 min.

These didn't puff up as much as a muffin should, but they were so moist and delicious.

I'm packing these for our trip as part of our breakfast selection. I'm also packing cereal and the fixings for making oatmeal.
