It's so easy to make + heathy + yummy!
First measure all wet ingredients:
Extra virgin olive oil 2/3 cup
Organic egg 2pcs
Organic molasses syrup 3/4 cup
Organic vanilla extract 1 table spoon
Total of 1 & 1/3 cup of evap milk, or milk, or sour cream or yogurt or any combination of those.
( I used 200ml of sour cream + full cream milk this time)
Optional : ripe banana 2 or 3 pcs
( I just happened to have ripe banana that I wanted to use, so I added it.)
You can blend wet ingredients by hand or by machine until well blended.
Measure dry ingredients and add to wet ingredients:
Organic wheat bran 1 cup
Organic wheat germ 1 cup
Organic unbleached flour 1 & 1/2 cup
*Kinako or roasted soy powder 1/2 cup
Organic natural sugar 1/2 cup
Organic Baking soda 1 & 1/2 tea spoon
Sea Salt 1 tea spoon
Organic Cinnamon 1 tea spoon
* kinako or roasted soy powder is available at Korean grocery. They use it to make sweet drink. Kinako is the Japanese name and you can find it in Japanese grocery too. If you can't find it, just substitute it to regular all purpose flour.
Chop dried fruits and mix lightly just enough to combine.
Dried dates 1 cup to 1 & 1/2 cup
Dried cranberry 1/2 cup
( or dried fig, dried cherry or anything you like)
Fill batter in paper lined muffin cups 90% full.
Set the temperature between 350 to 400 ℉ or 180 to 200 ℃.
I use gas oven without auto setting, but when it comes to muffin, you don't need to be so particular about temperature.
For small muffin cup, it takes 8 to 10 minutes.
For medium size muffin cup, around 15 to 17 minutes.
For big muffin cups, around 30 minute.
Be ready with BBQ stick, so you can just insert it in muffin to check if it comes off clean. If you want it moist, get it out a little earlier and allow the remaining hotness to bake some more ( but outside the oven).
