Tuesdays with Dorie: Great Grains Muffins

Usually, when I make muffins, I’m trying to sneak a little whole wheat flour into the mix and hoping my husband won’t care.  Well, here’s a muffin that’s supposed to be full of grains…whole wheat, corn and oats.  Good for you stuff, but with a little AP flour so it doesn’t feel like a brick.  I did sneak something else in, though….a tablespoon of ground flaxseed (although wheat germ would be good, too).  For dried fruit, I used blueberries and apricots.  These aren’t big, high-doming muffins, but I’d be happy to wake up to them anytime.  In the book, they’re pictured with a big hunk of cheese, but I think they’re pretty good with a little jam.

For the recipe, see Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan or read Happy Tummy, as it was Christine’s pick this week.  Don’t forget to check out the TWD Blogroll!
