Gingery Health Nut Breakfast Muffins

Submitted by Eugenol

"Based very loosely on the Cinna-Lentil Muffins. These definitely taste like health food, but I enjoy them nonetheless."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 12
• Yields: 12 muffins

ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 1 cup cooked red lentil (unsalted)
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger (or more, to taste)
• 5 tablespoons flax seeds
• 3⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
• 3⁄4 cup walnuts, chopped
• 3⁄4 cup dried apricot, chopped

directions

1. Oven at 350°F.
2. In blender, mix eggs, lentils, salt, vanilla extract, sugar, honey until smooth.
3. Mix dry stuff: baking powder, flour, flax seeds, dried fruit, nuts.
4. Add liquid to dry ingredients, mix until *just* combined.
5. Bake 20 minutes. Turn at halfway point for even cooking.

6. Notes:

7. Any desired combination of dried fruit and nuts is appropriate.
8. Optional: 1/4-1/2 cup applesauce for texture. I personally find the texture fine without.
