Hazelnut And Honey Muffins

Muffins prepared from all-purpose flour, baking powder, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, plain yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, egg, hazelnut oil, and chopped toasted hazelnuts.

Ingredients -
1-1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
1-1/2 cups Rolled Oats
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Plain Yogurt
1/2 cup Honey
1-1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Hazelnut Oil (vegetable oil may be substituted)
1-1/2 cups coarsely chopped Roasted Hazelnuts
 
Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Grease a 12 cup muffin tin.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, oats, baking soda and salt. Mix well.

4. In another bowl, whisk together yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, egg and oil.

5. Combine dry and wet ingredients, stirring just until dry ingredients are thoroughly moistened.

6. Fold in toasted hazelnuts just until they are well distributed.

7. Do not over mix; batter should be lumpy. Heap mixture into muffin cups so it is about 1/2-inch above the top of the pan and evenly distributed.

8. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until muffins are golden brown and spring back when pressed lightly.

9. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes.

Mixing By Hand

Muffin batter does not usually require much effort to combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients. It is a good idea, unless specified to do all mixing by hand and avoid the possibility of over mixing.


Muffin Making Tips -
Superfine Sugar

Superfine sugar is often used in muffin making to take advantage of its fine grain, which combines well with other wet and dry ingredients.
