We just mixed everything together with a spatula in a large bowl.
 Spoon into sprayed muffin tins and Bake at 350 for 15 minutes!

Corn Muffins

Ingredients:
1 C cornmeal
1 C whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
3/4 C buttermilk, OR add 1 TBLS vinegar to plain milk
1/2 C honey
1/4 C olive oil or Unsweetened Applesauce

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375.  Spray muffin tins with olive oil, or use cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.  Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until blended.  I just use my spatula to mix it all up.  No need to get out the hand held mixer for these.
Using the 1/4 C measuring cup I scoop the batter into the muffin tins.  Fills 9-15 depending on the size muffins you make!

Or if you are short on time, you can just pour it all into a 9X13 pan too! :)

Bake for 15 minutes or until slightly golden.  Let cool for a bit in the tin, then pull the muffins out to cool on a rack.

Or if cooked in the 9X13, just cut up into squares to serve.
One can bet that we will be having these too, if we are having chili for dinner.  Also great as a snack!  With some butter and honey, it's a treat! So easy, and so yummy!

Wheat Bran Muffins

Ingredients:
3 large eggs
3 C milk
3/4 C molasses
3/4 C no sugar added applesauce
1 1/2 C wheat bran (We get this at Good Earth)
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp baking soda
4 1/4 - 4/1/2 C whole wheat flour (depending on what brand of molasses you use.  If you use Grandma's Molasses, do 4 1/2 C flour, if you use Blackstrap Molasses use 4 1/4 C flour) 
2 C raisins
1 C chopped walnuts (or if you don't like nuts, do 3 C raisins)


Directions:
Add everything in large mixing bowl in the order above. (We do this in our Bosch, but any large bowl and beaters will do just fine.)  Spray muffin tins with olive oil.  (Cupcake papers don't seem to work well with this; the paper sticks too much)  
We use a 1/4 C measuring cup to scoop the batter into the tins. (it's pretty runny dough)
Fills 24. (2 whole pans) PERFECTLY! (so if you have filled all 24 and you still have dough, they aren't full enough.  they will puff up when you bake them) they really do fit into 24 pretty darn good!
Bake at 375 for 17-20 min.  Check with toothpick for doneness!




After they have cooled a bit we use a knife to get them out and store them in 2's in sandwich bags in the fridge.  I LOVE them heated with a little butter and honey.  They are great plain jane as well.  Remember to have at least one while still warm out of the oven! YUM!
