Muffins - Best Way to Start Your Day!


This has been our favorite muffin recipe for years. I usually make a double batch to either share with my friends or to freeze. My oldest won the vote on the "naming of the muffins!"

Golden Honey Muffins

1/2 cup honey
1 cup skim milk (or 1/2 cup water and 1/2 milk)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 beaten egg
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unbleached white flour
Dash of Stevia (optional)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Combine the honey and milk in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the honey dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool (about 10 minutes). Meanwhile, mix all dry ingredients in a big bowl. Now whisk the egg and oil to the milk and honey. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and beat just until blended. Pour into greased muffin pan and bake at 350 for 25-35 minutes. Can also be baked in a loaf pan for 65-75 minutes.

These muffins are very light and fluffy and taste incredible! Awesome way to start your day!
