Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Wheat germ
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 0.25 cup Canola oil
• 1 Egg, large
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar. Stir until the ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, canola oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each one about 2/3 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
