Whole Wheat Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 cup Flour, all purpose
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1 tbsp (1% low fat)
• 2 piece(s) Eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla (optional)
• 1 tbsp Margarine or butter
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon ground

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 °F. Lightly oil or coat with non-stick spray the cups of a 12 cup muffin pan, or use paper muffin cups.
2. Mix together white sugar and cinnamon for topping and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, stir together flour, salt, baking powder, and brown sugar. In a glass liquid measuring cup, measure milk, then add eggs, vanilla (if using), and melted shortening or oil. Mix with a fork until egg is well combined with other ingredients.
4. Pour milk mixture over flour mixture and stir with a spoon, about 20 strokes, until flour is just moistened. Batter will be lumpy and thick.
5. Fill prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full with batter. Sprinkle about 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon/ sugar topping over each muffin.
6. Bake in oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm. Leftovers may be frozen.
