BANANA WHEAT GERM MUFFINS
My whole family loves these muffins. I originally found this recipe in a weight watchers magazine from the mid-nineties. I saved it, although over the years I've tweaked it and it is no longer a low cal/low fat muffin. I think the original recipe used margarine, skim milk and 3 egg whites, not 100% positive though as I've been...

WHEAT GERM AND CORNMEAL MUFFINS
I have a muffin tin with square cups in it and the bottoms have little metal inserts that come out. I decided to use this pan to make square muffins for a change. These muffins are light and fluffy but have a bit of a crunch from the cornmeal. You could add some nuts or raisins to these if you wish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In large bowl, combine flour, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. In medium bowl, beat egg with brown sugar, oil, applesauce and soy milk. Mix with dry ingredients just until evenly moistened. Spoon into muffin tins. Mix 2 teaspoons of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle on top of muffins. Bake for 15-17 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh wheat germ is essential for the best flavor and nutritional value. If you can't find fresh wheat germ, you can substitute oat bran or another whole grain.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Line the muffin tins: This will help the muffins to come out of the tins easily.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the muffins cool before eating: This will help them to hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Wheat germ muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are packed with nutrients, including fiber, protein, and vitamins. They are also a good source of antioxidants. Wheat germ muffins are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. You can add different fruits, nuts, or seeds to the batter. You can also make them gluten-free by using gluten-free flour.
