Spiced Blueberry Oat Muffins

Yum
Blueberries pair nicely with a hint of spice..... These muffins satisfy and manage to stay pretty healthy, too. Oats and whole wheat flour increase the fiber and nutrition, but the muffins are still light and soft.

Spiced Blueberry Oat Muffins


Ingredients:

1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup oats
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup natural sugar
1 ripe banana - smashed
1 cup soy milk
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup water
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the flours in a mixing bowl and add the oats, salt, cinnamon, allspice, baking powder and baking soda. Mix again to distribute the spices and break up any clumps. Add the sugar to the flour and mix again.

Smash the banana in a small bowl and add the oil and water to the banana. In a measuring cup combine the milk and vinegar and mix it together. The vinegar will thicken the milk.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until just combined. Add the blueberries at the very end and gently mix until they are distributed. Mix for only a few strokes or the blueberries will turn all your batter purple.

Put into a greased (or lined) muffin tin and bake for 25 minutes.

Makes 12 muffins.
