Every/Anything Muffins!!

new years tf 072-800.jpg
Getting up in the morning, you might just be used to getting coffee and a creme/doughnut/muffin/ or bagel. Or maybe you just enjoy having a creme/doughnut/muffin/bagel for a snack during the day.
The only problem is finding a creme/doughnut/muffin/bagel that's actually healthy to eat.
Having that in mind, this muffin recipe is a great healthy alternative, it's even lower in calories than the majority of store bought creme/doughnut/muffin/bagel.
Grabbing one for breakfast, or snack, is delicous, and can really help your waistline.

If you choose to bake, you will need:
 an oven...
1 large bowl
1 smaller bowl
enough mufffin pan to make 18 muffins
a mixing spoon/fork
and....
Dry:
¾ cup Rolled Oats
¼ cup Raisins
¼ cup Craisins
¼ cup Flaxseeds (whole)
¼ cup Almonds
¼ cup Pistachios
¼ cup whole Rye Flour
1/3 cup Oat Flour
¾ cup whole Wheat Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
Wet:
1 large egg
¾ cup milk
1/3 cup honey
1 large banana
1 cup shredded carrot

It's a little of everything :)

First preheat your oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit and line and/or spray 18 muffin cups. Then gather up the following ingredients. 
Dry:
¾ cup Rolled Oats
¼ cup Raisins
¼ cup Craisins
¼ cup Flaxseeds (whole)
¼ cup Almonds
¼ cup Pistachios
¼ cup whole Rye Flour
1/3 cup Oat Flour
¾ cup whole Wheat Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder

Mix all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, set aside.

Next get the wet ingredients.
Wet:
1 large egg
¾ cup milk ( I used skim/ fat free)
1/3 cup honey
1 large banana
1 cup shredded carrot

Shred up the carrot, it actually only took me one of these carrots.
In a small bowl combine all the wet ingredients, just mix the banana till it's chunky.

Pour the wet mix into the dry mix and stir together. Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. If you have extra you can either line more muffin pans, or just add a little extra to each muffin.

Bake at 400 degrees for 18-20 minutes.

Bake them till they're a kinda gold-brown color.
Sounds better if you say; bake until a golden brown........
Let stand 10-15 min, it's hard to taste the flavor when you have a burned tongue.

For 18 muffins, using the ingredients listed, I totaled my nutrition count at:

1 muffin
133 calories
3g fat
22.5g Carbohydrates
              3g fiber

What's nice is the adaptability of this recipe for later muffins.
