This is a really tasty recipe that’s better, and healthier for you –
but it doesn’t taste like “heath food.”  No way!  Try it, you’ll like
it.

Dr. Norris Chumley’s Better Berry Muffins

Spray or coat two muffin tins with cooking oil. Pre-heat oven to 375.

Mix together:

1
cup whole-wheat all-purpose flour (I like King Arthur’s variety – it’s
the whole grain, but it’s not heavy like regular whole wheat flour)

1 cup regular whole-wheat flour

pinch of salt

pinch of baking soda

2 ½ tsp baking powder

In another bowl mix the wet ingredients:

2 eggs

½ cup honey

¼ cup vegetable oil

1 cup applesauce (unsweetened) or fruit puree (strawberry, raspberry, blackberry)

1 tsp. vanilla

2 tsps. Lemon or orange zest (you get this by grating a lemon or orange peel)

½ cup fat-free or low-fat buttermilk

¼ cup fat-free milk

Now gently combine the two mixtures together, then add:

1
cup berries (blueberries, cut strawberries, raspberries, cranberries –
in whatever proportions you like)  save an additional ½ cup.

Add
the mixture to the baking tins.  Top with the extra berries.  Place in
the hot oven, on a middle rack.  Bake 30 minutes, or until a fork
inserted in a muffin comes out perfectly clean.

Cool until just slightly still warm and serve.
