SPICE MUFFINS

Whole wheat flour in the canister and my other flour of choice by King Arthur
Sift:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup unbleached flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon nutmeg

In mixer:
½ cup butter - room temperature
½ cup coconut sugar
½ brown sugar
add: 4 eggs (room temp) 1 at a time and mix well
on low speed, add ½ c milk + (if using ww flour, you may need a tad more)
add flour mixture and
stir in 1 c pecans (optional)

Bake 400º for 12-15 min


    ALWAYS use a microplane and use fresh nutmeg...BIG difference!



I love my scoops in several sizes...all your muffins will be the same size.



Tender and warm...don't forget the fresh butter!


TIP:
Bake ALL muffins at 400º ~ even if the recipe says 350º. That BLAST of heat makes them rise nicely!! You'll have to play around with your recipes and adjust your time accordingly...it's just a tip I've learned along the way!

Use this as a base recipe - add grated apples, a bit of pumpkin or applesauce, any nuts or raisins. Use your imagination!
