I tried the E2 Mighty Muffins for a second time today. The first time was on Patsy's visit earlier this month. We followed the recipe exactly and it was a definite thumbs up.
Today I tried one of the variations and added 1 cup of Guitard 63% pure cocoa chips. I think when I try them again I'll only use 1/2 cup of chips. The chips overpowered the rest of the flavors. Part of the fun of the original recipe was the surprise of biting into a raisin and/or a walnut piece.After I was through with my muffin today all I could taste was chocolate. Probably worst was that the cup of chips added nearly 70 calories to each muffin!
E2 Mighty Muffins
Makes 6 large muffins or 1 enormous loaf
3 cups oat bran
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ tsp salt
4 tablespoon sweetener
Juice of 1 lemon
1 large apple, grated
6 brown bananas, lightly mashed (leave some chunks)
¼ cup walnuts, chopped or halved
¼ cup raisins
¾ cup water
Preheat oven to 375. Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Squeeze the juice to the lemon onto the combined apple and bananas. Add walnuts, raisins, and water. Combine the wet and dry ingredients into one bowl. Pour into sprayed muffin tins and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Variations: Bake the batter in a loaf pan, and enjoy hearty slices instead of muffins. Add three thinly sliced pears or 1 cup of 70 percent pure cocoa chips to the batter.
I wish we lived closer so I could come over and eat those! They look really yummy :)
