- ¾cupwhole wheat flour,spooned into measuring and leveled off with back edge of knife
- ½cupwheat bran,or wheat germ
- 1tspbaking powder
- ½tspbaking soda
- ½tspsalt
- 1tspcinnamon
- 2largeeggs
- ⅓cuppure maple syrup
- ½cupsugar,(plus 3 tbsp)
- ½cupcanola oil,or other vegetable oil
- 1½cupslow fat milk
- 1cupfresh blueberries,plus all-purpose flour for coating
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease two standard 12-cup muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, wheat bran, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
-
In another bowl, beat together the eggs, maple syrup, sugar, oil and milk. Whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until batter is smooth.
-
Rinse the blueberries and toss them in a small bowl with 2 teaspoons flour until they are well-coated (they need to be wet in order for the flour to stick). Using a ladle or half-cup measure, scoop the batter into the muffin cups until they are about three-quarters full.
-
Evenly distribute the berries into the muffins, pressing them just beneath the surface of the batter (about 5 berries per muffin). Carefully fill the empty cups in each muffin tin halfway with water.
-
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, rotating pans midway through, until golden brown and crisp around the edges. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn muffins out onto wire rack.
-
Serve warm. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
