Healthy muffin recipes these days make a great snack and are a healthy breakfast option. This particular muffin is a very healthy muffin recipe. It has absolutely no white flour and uses honey for sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 egg
- 1 cup wheat germ
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Mix the buttermilk and water in a bowl. Beat in the egg thoroughly. Stir in the wheat germ and let stand for 2 - 3 minutes to absorb moisture, while you prepare the dry ingredients.
- Mix the whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt on to a square of waxed paper or in another bowl. Add the mix to the wheat germ mixture and mix just until the flour mixture is moistened. Stir in the honey and oil. Spoon into greased or paper-lined muffin cups, filling them no more than 2/3 full.
