Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 and line a muffin pan with liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together eggs (2), brown sugar (1/2 cup), grated ginger (1 tablespoon), olive oil (1/3 cup), buttermilk (1 cup), baking powder (1 teaspoon), baking soda (1 teaspoon), and salt (1/4 teaspoon).
- Stir in the oats (1 cup) and whole wheat flour (1.5 cups) until just combined.
- Fold in the pecans (1 cup) and cranberries (1 cup).
- Divide batter into muffin pan, filling almost all the way. Sprinkle tops with sugar, if desired.
- Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Notes
- Although I haven't personally tried it with this recipe, I think honey would be a great substitute for the brown sugar. I've done it in plenty of other muffin recipes and they've come out great.
- You can freeze the leftovers- just defrost in the microwave for about 45 seconds when you need a quick and easy breakfast or snack.
- The provided nutrition information does not include any added sodium from seasoning to taste, any optional ingredients, and it does not take brands into account. Feel free to calculate it yourself using this calculator or by adding the recipe to Yummly.
