Good and Good for You Peanut Butter Muffins
- 12 cup all-purpose white flour
- 12 cup whole wheat flour
- 14 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 14 cup wheat germ
- 12 cup oatmeal (not instant, but quick cooking is fine)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (powder is fresh when you see air bubbles when added to some warm water)
- 14 cup sugar
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 12 cup reduced-fat creamy peanut butter (or plain is fine)
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened (or butter flavored Crisco)
- 1 cup 2% low-fat milk (or skim)
- 2 egg whites
- 14 cup honey
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Mix your dry ingredients together.
- I like to use a whisk to stir dry ingredients quickly and evenly.
- Add peanut butter and butter (or fat substitute) and mix until it becomes coarse crumbs.
- In another bowl, beat 2 egg whites just until they are foamy then add your honey and milk.
- TIP: spray your measuring cup with non stick spray then measure your honey -- when you pour it out of the cup the non stick will cause it to slide out easier.
- Then, use the same cup for your milk.
- Add wet ingredients to dry and stir only until fully moistened.
- Do not overmix.
- Let batter stand for a few minutes to thicken.
- Meanwhile, spray a mini (24 holes) or regular (12 holes) muffin pan WELL with nonstick spray because these will stick if you don't (even if you are using non-stick metal).
- For a mini muffin pan, I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup and for large, 1/2 cup to scoop batter and pour into muffin cups.
- Just makes things easier and less messy.
- Cook approx 11 minutes for mini muffins and 15 minutes for large.
- They are done when a toothpick inserted into middle muffin does not show any crumbs, but is moist.
- Do not overbake.
- As with many baked muffins and breads, these can be frozen for up to a month.
- I always store them in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator so I don't know how they keep if left out.
