This Whole Grain Muffin is one more of The Pioneer Woman’s recipes that I fell in love with. The best part about these muffins is that they have a great texture. The house smelled heavenly when I was baking these.
I got to say I am addicted to this pioneer woman! I just love her recipes and her blog. The way Ree writes invites her viewers to try out the recipe. I was attracted to her through her Cinnamon Raisin bread that I tried and it tasted awesome.
Packing lunch for kids is a challenge. Packing healthier snacks is even more a challenge. This week especially after all the cookies I baked, my kids were so sugar high that I had to make something to compromise all of that.
No kid would complain about these muffins because they are so moist and it has all the kid-approved flavors in them. It has bananas, apples, and raisins and these are my kid’s favorite. This is also a way to get rid of my guilt (after eating all those butter-laden cookies).
I made these as mini muffins and it yielded 24 small muffins and a tiny loaf. You could begin and end this recipe in about 35 mins. It does not take any gadget; all you need is a large bowl for the dry ingredients and a measuring cup for the wet.
The recipe used a cup of buttermilk and I did not have any. I just used ¾ cup of homemade yogurt and added a ¼ cup of water, whisked them together, and made up my own buttermilk.
