GRANOLA OR MUESLI MUFFINS



Granola or Muesli Muffins image

Another from Nigella Lawson's Feast cookbook. You can use granola or muesli interchangeably here. There was more batter than I usually get for a 12 muffin recipe so I kept filling up the cups more and filled them nearly to the top with some batter still left over but not much. The muffins did not rise much so I guess this was the right thing to do. These are tasty little treats that are also good for you. Enjoy!

GRANOLA MUFFINS



Granola Muffins image

Great muffin to make for breakfast or anytime. SUPER easy and the kids love it!! I tweaked another recipe that I found posted here...omitting some fat and adding a few other ingredients. They freeze well, too. I used Quaker Natural Granola with Oats, Honey & Raisins because that is what I had on hand. The slivered almonds are really yummy in the muffins. And, I also 'made' my own buttermilk by adding 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to regular skim milk before combining the wet ingredients.

GRANOLA MUFFINS



Granola Muffins image

These muffins are ludicrously easy to make. It's just a matter of mixing flour, baking soda and a pinch of salt in one bowl; stirring together buttermilk, an egg, vegetable oil and sugar in another; then combining the two. At the end, fold in some granola, though if you wanted to cut out one step, you could add the granola along with the flour in the bowl of dry ingredients. Bake and eat 20 minutes or so after you've taken them out of the oven. You can even measure out all the ingredients the night before, so all you need to do upon waking is stumble into the kitchen, switch on the oven and stir everything together.

PEAR AND GRANOLA MUFFINS



PEAR AND GRANOLA MUFFINS image

Categories     Bread     Fruit     Breakfast

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup plain granola
2 D'Anjou pears (2 cups), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
FOR GRANOLA CRISP TOPPING
(or use an additional 3/4 cup plain granola)
1/2 cup granola
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, yogurt, and butter. Make a well in the center of flour mixture. Add egg mixture to well, and mix in flour mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the granola and pears. Make Granola Crisp Topping: In a bowl, toss together 1/2 cup granola, 1/4 cup each all-purpose flour and packed light-brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut 3 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter into pieces; add to granola mixture, and rub in with fingertips until clumps form. Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each 3/4 full. Sprinkle with granola topping. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oats: Rolled oats are the best choice for granola muffins, as they provide a chewy texture. Quick-cooking oats can also be used, but they will result in a softer muffin.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh fruit, nuts, and seeds will give your muffins the best flavor. If you're using frozen fruit, be sure to thaw it completely before adding it to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy outer crust and a moist interior.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the muffins to set.

Conclusion:

Granola muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect granola muffins every time.
