Wholegrain Blueberry Banana-Nut Muffins

In in addition to working out, I've also been trying to eat healthier.  On top of just eating smaller portions and the right food, I'm trying out new recipes from time to time, and I want to share my findings with you.  The following recipe is something I've been eating for breakfast in addition to my vanilla greek yogurt with blueberries and granola.  It also contains NO sugar! I don't mean "yeah it contains no sugar, but it will give you cancer". I mean, it's bangin, AND there is nothing bad for you in it!

Wholegrain Blueberry Banana-Nut Muffins


2 C whole wheat flour
3 tsp baking flour (Rumford, non-aluminum)
pinch salt
1/2 C pure maple syrup
1 C soymilk
1/4 C canola or olive oil
1/2 C chopped nuts
1 C blueberries
1 banana

Bake at 350 for about 30 min. You can use this recipe for any kind of muffin, really. Just substitute other things for the blueberries. You can use bananas, cranberries/orange, carrot/raisin, chocolate chips, etc.  Serves 8.

I personally like to use blueberries, a banana, and chopped almonds.  Next time I make it, I'm going to throw in some cinnamon as well!   I baked it into a bread this week, which took closer to an hour to be fully cooked.  When in doubt, stick a knife in it, and if it comes out clean, you are G2G!

Now I did my own little nutrtion guide by adding up all the calories and junk and dividing it by 8.   I'm not a nutritionist, so I don't know if some of the calories or "junk" would bake off or not, but this is just the raw information that I gathered when I was making this.
