MULTI GRAIN MUFFINS

1 1/2 cups flour

1/4 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup quick oats

2 TBSP toasted white germ or bran

2 TBSP cornmeal

1 TBSP baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup raisins or chopped dates

1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts (leave out around Lyds)

1 small carrot, peeled and grated

1 medium apple, peeled and grated

1 egg

1/2 cup canola oil

1/2 cup honey

1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter the tops and insides of a muffin pan. In large bowl combine all ingredients up to and including grated apple. In another bowl whisk the egg, oil, honey and milk until the mixture is smooth. Mix in the dry ingredients and stir until just blended – do not over beat the batter! Let it sit undisturbed for 1 minute so the grains can absorb the liquid. Fill prepared muffin cups with batter. Make 17-18 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature, but not hot.
