Multi-Grain Barley-Flax Muffins

Want to make some muffins with your kids...that they will LOVE and are GREAT for them??? If you have anyone in your family struggling with regularity...these are the muffins for them!!!


Multi-Grain Flax Bran Muffins

1 ½ C whole wheat flour
1 C barley flour
½ C millet flour
¼ C ground flaxseed
3 ½ C bran cereal
¾ C honey
¾ C sugar
¼ C oil
¼ C applesauce
1 C milk
1 C buttermilk
2 eggs
2 ½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp cinnamon (depending on how much you like cinnamon)
½ tsp allspice

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients until thoroughly combined. Let sit about 5-10 minutes so it thickens a bit. Grease muffin tins. (I use medium-sized muffin tins…they are between small and regular sized) Bake for about 15-18 minutes. Increase baking time by about 3-5 minutes for regular-sized muffins. Decrease baking time by about 5 minutes for mini-muffins. Makes about 40-45 medium-sized muffins.


Since this is kind of my family fun entry...let your kids add the ingredients and let them grind the barley and wheat. They will LOVE watching the flax grind in the coffee grinder, too!!!
