Ingredients

• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 0.33 cups wheat germ
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups light brown sugar
• 0.33 cups unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cups vegetable oil
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups milk
• 1.25 cups fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cups chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and uniform.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the blueberries and chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Blueberry Walnut Wheat Germ Muffins!
