Muffin Monday – Whole Wheat Muffins
I whipped up a batch of Whole Wheat Muffins this week. It’s the first time I’ve ever used whole wheat flour in a recipe. (I bought a 5 lb. bag, so I’m sure I’ll be trying other recipes using whole wheat flour in the near future.)
- Whole Wheat Muffins
These muffins turned out delicious! Not too sweet!
Add a piece of fruit or a cup of yogurt and you have a filling and healthy breakfast.
Ingredients:
1 cup sifted all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour plus 2 tablespoons
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 cup milk
2 eggs slightly beaten
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup of applesauce
What To Do:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Mix flour, salt baking powder and brown sugar in a large bowl.
Make a “well” in the center of the mixture.
Add milk, eggs, oil and applesauce.
Stir until combined.
Spoon batter into muffin tins coated with non-stick spray.
Bake in oven 15 minutes.
Enjoy right out of the oven!
Makes 12-15 muffins.

I bake solely with whole wheat flour now (unless it calls for bread flour or cake flour) King Arthur brand makes an Unbleached Whole Wheat Flour that can be used as a replacement for AP flour in all recipes. You cannot taste the difference!
Good to know! Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing, Erin!
FLOUR, Bread 1 cup (160 grams) 1 cup (130 grams) all purpose flour
You can substitute whole wheat flour for cake and bread flours too! I always take out 2 Tbl /cup whole wheat flour used then…
Some suggestions are….
1 cup FLOUR, Cake =3/4 cup all purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups FLOUR, Pastry =1 1/3 cup all purpose flour plus 2/3 cup cake flour
1 cup FLOUR, Bread =1 cup all purpose flour

I need to add more whole wheat to my diet. These muffins look like a good place to start. Thanks for sharing on A Well-Seasoned Life’s Sweet Indulgences Sunday.
I love all things whole wheat! I have a few recipes posted, actually just posted a whole wheat pizza. Need to try these out.. and I love Muffin Monday, I should start making muffins!
Yay! I’ve got muffins to link up again. This time it’s my Honey Corn Muffins.
I hope you like my muffins.
Thanks for sharing your whole wheat muffins at Bake with Bizzy.
I love muffins. I think, it is because they are small.
I really need to start baking more! I wanted to invite your over to my cookbook giveaway that is going on right now until July 16th. Stop on by to enter! Hope you are having a great week

Good to see you trying out some whole wheat flour! I typically use whole wheat pastry flour when baking muffins or even cookies or cakes. You truly can’t tell the difference unless you’re looking for your baked goods to be white (like when I tried to do red, white and blue muffins for the 4th…).
Happy baking! ~Lisa
I love whole wheat flour! We use it exclusively at our house. We usually buy white whole wheat flour as it has a finer texture which is what our family prefers. Stone ground wheat flour tends to make things gritty.
A good rule of thumb when substituting…Take away 2 Tbl whole wheat flour per cup. Also, if you are using it in yeast recipes you’ll need to add 2 tsp vital wheat gluten/cup whole wheat flour to help with rising.
Your recipe sounds delicious and we love muffins here at our house.
I found you at Ann Kroeker’s, Food on Fridays at http://annkroeker.com/
My entry there is Oat Bran Muffins.
I will try this after next. Thanks for sharing.

I’ll have to try these – I actually just bought the same bag of flour – it is actually pretty good. I made chocolate brownies with it first (http://bit.ly/r1D8Fe) they turned out really good. Thanks for sharing with Fat Camp Friday. See you next week! http://bit.ly/npf0ml
Thank you so much for sharing on Momtrends. I love checking out all the Friday Food submissions. My question–can you freeze some extras? Have a great weekend!
Looking good. Thanks for sharing with Simply Delish.
A healthy muffin! Nice.
Thanks for linking up and spotlighting our Friday Food Fight here.
It just so happens that I have three bags (on sale) of whole wheat flour, so I am all set. Yay!
Also, I linked up two of my favorite muffin recipes: Bell Pepper Muffins and Savory Rosemary Muffins. I hope you like them.
Thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and hope to see you next week. Have a great week end!

We are featuring this great and healthy muffin at My Meatless Mondays, tomorrow. Join us and by all means, bring more food.
Yum! I love muffins, especially healthier ones like this. I wanted to make some with blueberries–maybe I could just toss some into this batter and fold them in?
