A muffin with just enough sweetness. One that’s loaded with dried fruit, oats and wheat germ. Start your morning off with this warrior muffin and you’ll conquer your day.
These muffins were so easy to make. Just a bunch of measuring and mixing, then adding wet ingredients to the dry. In 20 minutes these muffins filled my apartment with the luscious scent of warm cinnamon.
There’s one unique step in this recipe: adding 1/2 cup of boiling water to the batter and letting it sit for 15 minutes. I learned from MyRecipes.com that this step allows the hearty oats and wheat germ to soak up the liquid for a softer muffin.
Learn something new every day.
You will adore these muffins. Try to eat just one, I dare you.
