I tried these muffins out of my cookbook that came with my new bosch. I didn't care for them, but am posting them to talk about my bosch, and my cute flower pot muffin holders. I'm also writing myself some suggestions for next time. These were a healthy muffin, flax, whole wheat and rolled oats with applesauce, banana, dried cranberries, and raisins. Definitely good for you, but they were just plain in the flavor department. Had a banana flavor but lacked something. (Ideas, more sweetener, a little almond extract, and/or more cinnamon would make these better. I'd like to see them taste more like a banana bread.)
Here is why they were fun - I ground my own flax in my blender - love that this blender is that strong. I don't have to buy flax meal again, and I do use that in one of my waffle recipes. I also ground my own wheat in my wondermill, and rolled my oats in my marga grain press. I love it when I can to that. Somehow it just makes me proud.
These were to be made as monster muffins, and I don't have a large muffin tin, but I do have these cute little flower pots. I really like them. They cook nicely, and the food comes right out of them. I found them at an outlet mall long ago and originally bought them because I had a recipe for bread in a flower pot or something. I would make bread, then crochet a flower, put it on a wooden skewer, stick it in the bread, transfered to a real flower pot and give them as gifts. Fun. I haven't done that probably since I had kids, but it was fun when I did. (Maybe I should try it again.) Anyway, that is how I ended up with the flower pots, but I really like them. I have 2 sizes, a large muffin and a small bread. I had more dough than fit in my 6 muffin pots, so I ended up using a bread pt as well. You can't really tell the difference well in the picture though. The empty pot is actually larger.
