MULTIGRAIN ENGLISH MUFFINS



Multigrain English Muffins image

These English muffins are made with a mix of whole-wheat and white flours, along with rolled oats and a sprinkling of flaxseed and caraway seeds. Low-fat buttermilk gives the muffins a slight tang and a light texture. But unlike whole-milk dairy products, it contains very little saturated fat.

Yield Makes 15

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup warm water (115 degrees)
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons active dry yeast (from one 1/4-ounce envelope)
1 teaspoon unsalted butter, plus more for serving (optional)
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 tablespoon coarse salt
2 teaspoons whole flaxseed
1 1/2 teaspoons caraway seeds (optional)
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
Vegetable oil, cooking spray
1/4 cup coarse cornmeal
Preserves, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine warm water, honey, yeast, and butter in a bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy.
  • Combine flours, oats, wheat germ, salt, and flaxseed, and caraway seeds if desired, in a large bowl. Add yeast mixture and buttermilk, and mix with your hands until flours are almost fully incorporated. Turn out mixture onto a clean surface, and knead until smooth, about 3 minutes.
  • Lightly coat a large mixing bowl with cooking spray, and place dough in bowl. Cover with plastic, and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead for about 1 1/2 minutes, and roll to 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out rounds. Roll and cut scraps once. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment, and dust with cornmeal. Place rounds on sheet, cover with plastic, and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot until puffy, about 20 minutes.
  • Heat a large griddle or 12-inch skillet over low heat. Working in batches, place rounds 1 1/2 inches apart. Cook until golden brown and dry, about 7 minutes per side. Let cool for 30 minutes; split with a fork. Toast, and serve with butter and preserves if desired.

Using one cup carrots and one cup zucchini is a nice way to get both the yellow and green veggies into the diet! Any type of nuts, raisins, etc. may be used in the recipe -- whatever is on hand and toddler approved.

Multigrain-oatmeal-Craison Spice Muffins image

I was craving an oatmeal muffin with a bit more "kick." I added spices that are typically found in spice cake recipes. I am always trying to find ways to sneak in more nutrition so I also make them with multigrain flour. These muffins are moist and delicious. I adapted this recipe from fellow member Kree. Thank you for all of you that nominated this recipe for PAC. It is an honour. I have increased the spices since I originally posted this recipe. I hope you enjoy!!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always give you the best results. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing can toughen your muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the Muffin Tins Properly: Fill the muffin tins about 2/3 full. This will help them rise evenly.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: The ideal baking temperature for muffins is 375°F (190°C). This will help them rise and brown properly.
  • Don't Overbake: Overbaking can dry out your muffins. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let Them Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Multigrain muffins are a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack option. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite ingredients. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect muffins every time. Remember to experiment with different flours, grains, and mix-ins to create your own unique muffin recipes. And don't be afraid to get creative with your toppings!
