Bunny FuFu Muffins
I have been eating so many sweets because I am trying to master baking cakes and tortes. My poor scale is getting abused. So the health food faerie godmother came around and said it was time for Bunny FuFu muffins. So we packed up and went to Whole Foods to pick up some bran.
We read almost every label on the Red Mill flour bags and picked out Teff flour and flaxseed meal. First of all they are both gluten free! Second, the flaxseed meal is heart healthy, contains Omega-3, and will give the muffins a nutty flavor. I picked Teff flour because it is a wonderful source of protein, iron and fiber. The health food faerie godmother is all for high fiber. Just remember to warn family and friends that these muffin are high in fiber, otherwise they might think you are poisoning them. Otherwise they might want to rename these muffins to Bunny PooPoos.
Two other helpful ingredients are wheat germ for vitamins and raw macha powder for energy.
So if you really want to make these muffins you will need:
½ cup Flour
1 cup Flaxseed meal
1 cup teff flour
2 tablespoons raw macha powder
¼ cup wheat germ
2 tablespoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Ground ginger (to taste)
Allspice (to taste)
Ground cloves (to taste)
Nutmeg (to taste)
1 ½ cups Apple Sauce
1 cup honey
½ cup milk
2 eggs
¼ cup soften butter
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
To make:
1.Sift together the first 12 ingredients.
2.In a large bowl combine apple sauce, honey, milk and eggs.
3.Add dry ingredients to wet batter and mix until blended.
4.Stir in pumpkin seed, if you have raisins you could add in a cup of them.
5.Pour batter into greased pans.
6.Bake at 350ยบ for 30-45 minutes.
