BOB'S RED MILL WHEAT GERM AND CORNMEAL MUFFINS



Bob's Red Mill Wheat Germ and Cornmeal Muffins image

Printed on the back of a package of Bob's Red Mill brand wheat germ. The amount of unbleached white flour was cut in half and the other half replaced with whole wheat flour. Although it requires another step, toasting the wheat germ gives it a nutty, crunchy texture.

Provided by COOKGIRl

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 35m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup wheat germ, toasted
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons sugar (if you prefer the muffins sweeter, I'm sure you could safely add up to 1/3 cup sugar)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup butter, melted, cooled slightly
1 cup milk or 1 cup buttermilk
wheat germ, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • To toast the wheat germ, heat up a dry cast iron skillet on low or low-medium heat and toast the wheat germ for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir constantly and reduce heat if necessary. Wheat germ burns easily and quickly. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine both flours, wheat germ, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • In a small glass container, whisk together the egg, butter and milk.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the egg mixture into the well. Stir *just* until combined; batter will be lumpy.
  • Grease muffin tins or line with paper bake cups. Fill 2/3 full. If desired, sprinkle a light dusting of wheat germ on top of each muffin.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Serve immediately.

CORNMEAL BLUEBERRY WHEAT GERM MUFFINS



Cornmeal Blueberry Wheat Germ Muffins image

This is a healthy recipe with the wheat germ in it. This is from the Kretschmer Wheat Germ web site. I didn't have skim evaporated milk, used powdered buttermilk and water. Used 1 egg and no egg white. I find when the muffins are cold they don't stick to the paper. They will tend to stick if you don't use the oil. I fill the muffin cups very full as the batter is think and doesn't run over the top when they start to bake.

5 ml vanilla

Tips:

  • Include cornmeal for a nutty flavor and texture: Cornmeal adds a distinct nutty flavor and a slightly coarse texture to the muffins. It also helps absorb excess moisture, resulting in a muffin that is tender and moist on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no dry streaks remain.
  • Use fresh baking powder and baking soda: Fresh baking powder and baking soda are essential for creating light and fluffy muffins. Old or expired baking agents can result in flat, dense muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups to the top: Filling the muffin cups to the top ensures that the muffins rise properly and have a rounded shape. It also helps prevent the muffins from drying out.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: Baking the muffins at a high temperature (400°F) for a short period of time creates a muffin that is tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside.

Conclusion:

Wheat germ and cornmeal muffins are a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can create light and fluffy muffins that are perfect for any occasion. These muffins are a great way to use up leftover wheat germ and cornmeal. They are also a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins. Enjoy them with a cup of coffee or tea for a satisfying and wholesome meal.
