Baking with wholemeal flour

In the attempt to improve the nutritional values of my baking, I bought some wholemeal flour the other day and incorporated it into a muffin recipe. It's a really versatile recipe that allows you to add different ingredients to make it your own.
Muffins turn out so perfect. The wholemeal flour adds a slightly course texture and these muffins have more "bite" than the ordinary ones. Great for on-the-go breakfast!

1.25 cups all-purpose flour

0.75 cup wholemeal flour
3 tsp baking powder

1/4 cup pack brown sugar

1 egg
1 cup milk

30mL olive oil

1 tsp cinnamon

Frozen mixed berries


1) Preheat oven to 200 degrees C

2) Stir together flour, baking powder and sugar. Make a well in the centre. In a separate bowl, beat egg with a fork. Stir in milk and oil. Pour the liquid at once into the well in the flour mixture. Mix quickly and lightly with a folk until moistened. Foil in berries. Do not overbeat or the batter will be lumpy.

3) Pour batter into prepared muffin cups.

4) Bake for 25 minutes or until golden.
