Delicous Whole Grain Muffins

Inspired by Mel's recent postings of food and recipes, I thought I'd share the recipe to the muffins we enjoyed this morning. They were excellent! We enjoyed them with scrambled eggs and fresh mango. I love Saturday morning breakfast!

Banana Oatmeal Muffins (from Recipes from the Old Mill: Baking with Whole Grains)
Yield: 12 large muffins

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
1/2 cup raisins
3 Tbsp. oil
1 egg
1 cup skim milk
2 mashed bananas

Topping:
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. melted butter
1/4 cup chopped pecans or sunflower seeds

Combine whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add oats and raisins.
Combine oil, egg, milk, and bananas. Mix well.
Add liquids to dry ingredients and stir only until ingredients are moist.
Spoon batter into greased muffin tins. Fill 2/3 full.
Mix topping ingredients together and sprinkle on top of each muffin.
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 15-20 minutes.

So easy and delicious! I used pecans for the topping and it was delightful.
