WHOLE WHEAT PUMPKIN MUFFINS RECIPES

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine yeast and 1/3 cup warm water (80 milliliters) and let rest until yeast has dissolved, about 5 minutes.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter and put it in a large bowl. Whisk in yogurt, milk, honey, salt and the yeast mixture.
• Add flours and baking soda to bowl and beat thoroughly with a spoon or rubber spatula until well combined. Cover bowl and let rest in a warm spot for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until dough has doubled.
• Heat oven 350 degrees. Lightly dust a small baking sheet with cornmeal.
• Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter. Using a large ice cream scoop or 1/2 cup measuring cup, drop batter into skillet to form round muffins about 4 inches in diameter, mounding the batter in the center. (You may need to coax the dough a little with your fingers, so be careful of the hot pan, and don’t worry if they’re not perfectly circular.) Repeat until you have 3 muffins, leaving the rest of the batter for a second batch. Reduce heat to low. Cover skillet with lid or baking sheet and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until bottoms are golden brown. (Be careful not to let them burn.)
• Uncover skillet and flip muffins using a spatula. Cover again and cook 2 to 4 minutes or until the other sides are golden brown. Place muffins on prepared baking sheet. Repeat using remaining batter and another tablespoon of butter.
• Bake muffins for 6 to 9 minutes, or until puffed and cooked through. Split the muffins with a fork and toast before eating.

Steps:

• Add whole wheat flour and milk to a blender. Blend for 3-5 minutes, until smooth and slightly thick.
• Add eggs, sugar, oil, salt and baking powder and puree until well mixed.
• Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Add about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter and cook until bubbles form on top of the pancake. Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on both sides.
• Serve with syrup, fruit, or your favorite pancake toppings.
