Fruit Muffins

Ingredients
Dry
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup oatmeal
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
Wet
1 cup Florida fruit (blueberries, strawberries or mangos), chopped
1 Florida egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
oil or cooking spray
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, oatmeal, sugar, salt and baking powder, then add fruit.
  3. In another bowl, break the egg and slightly beat with a fork. Add milk and vegetable oil to the egg and mix ingredients together.
  4. Add the egg mixture to the dry mixture in the large bowl. Using a mixing spoon, mix about 25 or 30 times, until mixture is slightly lumpy.
  5. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly coat with oil or cooking spray. Carefully spoon muffin batter into muffin cups, filling each cup 2/3 of the way. Bake for 20 minutes.
  6. After the muffins have cooled, remove from the tin.
  7. Wrap extra muffins individually in plastic wrap or heavy foil; store in a freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
