Blueberry Muffin With Buckwheat And Butternut Ingredients

Three-B Muffin Ingredients:

¾ cup buckwheat flour
1 cup butternut squash, frozen
¾ cup blueberries
1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
½ cup milk, fat free
½ cup frozen or refrigerated egg product, thawed or 2 eggs, whole
¼ cup fresh orange juice, unsweetened
½ teaspoon orange peel
Cooking spray
2 tablespoon cooking oil
Rolled oats

Method:

1. Coat about 12 muffin cups (about 2 ½ inch) lightly with nonstick cooking spray, you may even line them with paper bake cups if available. Set the greased or lined pan aside.
2. Combine the buckwheat flour, all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and sugar in a medium size bowl, mix well and leave aside.
3. In another medium size bowl combine the lightly beaten whole eggs or thawed eggs, milk, orange juice, orange peel, squash and oil. Mix well and add this mixture all at once in the flour mixture. Stir well until just moistened, the batter should be lumpy. Carefully fold the blueberries into this mixture.
4. Spoon this batter into the prepared muffin cups, fill each almost full. Sprinkle rolled oats over it and place it in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the muffins turn light brown in color. Remove them from the oven and cool them for about 5 minutes in the muffin cups on a wire rack. Remove muffins from the cup skillfully and serve warm. This recipe makes 12 muffins or 12 servings.
