INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup unbleached, all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons wheat germ
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup freshly squeezed Hale Groves orange juice
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup mashed bananas (about 2 bananas)
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
PREPARATION
Preheat over to 400 degrees. Grease six 3-inch muffin pan cups. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, combine all the remaining liquid ingredients, mixing well. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ones all at once and stir just until moistened. Spoon the mixture into the prepared cups, filling them 2/3 full. Bake approximately 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
YIELD: Six 3 inch muffins.
Preparation time: 45 minutes
