Great Granola Muffin Recipe

This is a great muffin recipe–not sweet and cake-like—and just right for breakfast.

We wondered what the granola would be like laced through this muffin. It reminds us of the bran cereal in a bran muffin—though it’s lighter in texture. It’s a hearty, wholesome, muffin your whole family will enjoy.

This is another easy recipe to make. This recipe uses the “muffin method” for mixing.

Ingredients

1 1/3 cup flour
2 cups granola
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

2 eggs
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare the muffin tins by greasing them well.

1. Combine the dry ingredients including the granola in a large bowl.
2. Whisk the egg, brown sugar, buttermilk, oil and vanilla together until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
3. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined.
4. Scoop the batter into the prepared tins. Sprinkle the tops with oats. Bake for 15 minutes or until the muffins test done. After the muffins have cooled for several minutes, remove them from the tins to cool on a wire rack.

Makes ten medium or 12 small muffins.

Note: Different granolas may absorb moisture differently. Add milk or flour if needed to get the right consistency.
