Crystal Margarine Recipes
Prep: 55 mins
Servings: 18 muffins
In our kitchen, we love beets as a foundation to just about any recipe. This is because of their earthy profile, how well they pair with certain fruits,! Apples help give this recipe a refined sweetness, and cooking with Crystal Margarine means you also get a nice boost of vitamin D. Start your morning with a muffin, and feel good wherever life takes you!
ingredients
1 1/4 cup
large flake rolled oats
3/4 cup
milk or milk alternative
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1/2 cup
whole wheat flour
2 tsp
baking powder
1 tsp
salt
1 tsp
cinnamon
1 cup
grated raw beets
1/2 cup
Crystal Margarine, melted and cooled
2
large eggs
1/4 cup
honey
1/4 cup
dark brown sugar, packed
1
large apple, peeled and diced
directions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 18 muffin tin cups or line with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, stir together the oats and 1/2 cup milk. Set aside for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup milk, beets, Crystal margarine, eggs, honey and brown sugar.
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients. Pour in the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the oats and the apple.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake until a skewer inserted in the centre of a muffin emerges clean, with a few crumbs attached; about 25 to 27 minutes.
Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then remove muffins and cool completely on a rack.
Chef’s Note
- Make sure you’re using regular rolled oats – instant or quick oats will not work well in this recipe.
