Red, White, and Blue Muffins!

You know me and my love of muffins! Every Monday morning is "Muffin Monday!" It's just so easy to mix up the batter and stick it in the fridge on Sunday night. I made these this past weekend for Memorial Day, but they would be delicious any old time. One of my kiddos (Kenna) didn't like the cranberries too much. But, you can also chop up some strawberries and use those instead. Try it out!

Ingredients:

5 cups milled white wheat flour*
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
1/2 cup natural sugar (like Turbinado--you may want more, so taste it to see)
2 cups milk
2 eggs
1 cup oil
1 cup honey
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 cup frozen cranberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix up all dry ingredients. Make a well in the center and add milk, eggs, oil, and honey. Mix up the wet ingredients with a fork then combine it into the whole batter. Spoon out into a greased muffin pan. Bake for about 25-30 minutes (keep checking!).

* NO! Do not use white flour! I put a "white" in the title because I milled some soft white wheat. Just use plain old whole wheat flour if you don't mill your grain at home.

These were great. I used blueberries and strawberries. Didn't really like the strawberries, going to try cherries next time. Thanks for the recipe.

I have decided to make the committment to start Muffin Monday. I only question is do you mix the whole recipe together the night before or just part of it?
