Healthy Recipes

Substitute half oat flour for white flour. For fresh-ground, whole grain flour at home in a flash, even without a flour grinder, just whirl some oat meal into a powder in a small coffee grinder, or a  blender orfood processor.

Also, yogurt can substitute for regular milk; it adds a bit more leavening power to the mix, and a nice tang that balances the sweetness. Plus, a quart of plain yogurt keeps awhile. Good to use when making corn bread, or even for eating straight-up, with maple syrup on it. Much more versatile than flavored yogurts, and you can control the amount of sugar added.

Blueberry Muffins




As quick and easy recipes go, this one's not too involved. Processing the oats into a whole grain flour takes just a moment, and you can use the processor to mix the other dry ingredients in with the oat flour. Dump that and the blueberries into the wet ingredients, stir just lightly, and you're about done.

Eat these fresh out of the oven. Or rewarm in toaster oven a few minutes to refresh. Makes 1 dozen.

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 c. yogurt
  • 1/2 c. olive oil
  • 1 1/2 c. quick-cooking oats, ground
  • 1/3 c. sugar
  • 1 c. flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 TBS. baking powder
  • 1 1/2 c. fresh blueberries (or 1 c. frozen)
  • 1-2 TBS. sugar for topping


Let egg and yogurt get to room temperature for better baking. Into metal bowl, add: > 1 egg, stirred

To egg in bowl, add: > 3/4 c. yogurt (or substitute milk) > 1/2 c. olive oil

To a food processor or blender, add and process into a powder: > 1 1/2 c. quick-cooking oats (or substitute 1 c. white flour)

To food processor, add the remaining dry ingredients: > 1/3 c. sugar > 1 c. white flour  (or whole wheat) > 1 tsp. salt > 1 TBS. baking powder

Add a bit of olive oil to the bottoms of a 12-muffin tin. Mix the dry ingredients and the blueberries into the wet mix, stirring lightly just until mixed. If it seems too dry, add 2 TBS. water. (I had one thick batch of yogurt, which seemed to need the extra liquid.) Fill the 12-muffin tin with batter, and sprinkle 1-2 TBS. sugar on top. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or so, until golden. Eat warm!
