From Cornell's cooking class: A healthy and delicious whole wheat muffin recipe.

Prep time: 25 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Servings: 6 muffins

Ingredients

  • All Purpose Flour ½ cup
  • Milk, Skim ½ cup
  • Whole Wheat Flour ½ cup
  • Egg, beaten ½ each
  • Baking Powder 1 tsp
  • Vegetable Oil 1 Tbsp
  • Salt ¼ tsp
  • Cinnamon ¼ tsp
  • Sugar ¼ Cup

Instructions

  1. 1.Preheat oven to 425ºF.
  2. 2.Lightly grease the bottoms of 6 muffin cups.
  3. 3.Sift together the Flours, Baking Powder, Salt, Cinnamon, and Sugar in a bowl. 4. Blend together the Milk, Egg, and Vegetable Oil with a fork or a whisk in a bowl. Do not beat until foamy, but just enough to disperse the oil.
  4. 4.Make a depression or “well” in the dry ingredients with a tablespoon. Add the liquid ingredients immediately after blending them.
  5. 5.Stir 15-20 strokes with a wooden spoon or just enough so that all the dry ingredients are wet. The batter should appear lumpy. Do not overmix or the muffins will be tough.
  6. 6.Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  7. 7.Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown. Cool on a rack in the pan for about 5 minutes, then remove from the pan.
