CL testing - Whole Grain Blackberry Spice Muffins

  Cooking Light Magazine Jan/Feb 2006

2 C all purpose flour
1 C oats
1 C brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. apple pie spice

Mix dry ingredients in large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the following:

1 C skim milk
3 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 large egg

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until barely mixed.

Then add 1 1/2 C chopped frozen blackberries. Stir gently and fill muffin cups 1/2 - 2/3 full. Bake at 400 for 14-17 minutes. Cool in muffin tins for 5 minutes and enjoy!

(makes 18; 177 calories each; 3g fat; 3.5g protein)

Verdict: The texture was really nice with the oats and the spices added a new dimension. The blackberries added a tart background. These muffins are NOT overly sweet, we found them just right. You could substitute any berry for these if you like. Raspberry, blueberry, etc. I've eaten 7 by myself so far today.

Dave's vote: SO good. Please make these again.

Wow, this blackberry spice recipe looks delicious! I can almost smell the warm spices through the screen. Adding whole grains makes it even healthier! By the way, if you're interested, you can find some great deals on mobile prices in Pakistan nowadays.
