A little can go a long way and there are lots of ways to substitute wheat.
For all those nursing moms, who aren't celiacs, here's a healthy fix that cuts the wheat without cutting flavor. My husband even gave it a thumbs up!
This muffin recipe came from Farmgirlfare.com but I made lots of tweaks to it. Tweak for yourself and enjoy!
-2 cups organic wheat bran ( I did 1 cup wheat bran and 1 cup flax but you could do all flax)
-1 cup organic oat bran (I did this but you could substitute it for flax as well)
-1 cup organic whole wheat flour (I did 1/2 cup Whole Wheat flour and 1/2 cup Almond Meal, which you can do all almond meal if you want)
-2 teaspoons baking soda
-1 teaspoon baking powder
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-2 large organic eggs
-2/3 cup 1% organic milk
-2/3 cup straus organic whole milk plain yogurt
-1/3 cup safflower oil (substituted with my homemade apple sauce*, see ingredients below)
-1/3 cup sweet molasses or cane syrup (did not use)
-1/3 cup honey (did 2/3 cup honey)
-1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
-1 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, easier if frozen to mix in and just as delicious
-1/3 plus cups millet thrown in for a little extra yumminess
**homemade applesauce, 2 organic pink lady apples blanched then blended with half cup water and as much cinnamon as you like, let it cool then throw a banana in there and blend some more-YUM!
Combine all the dry ingredients; the wheat bran, oat bran, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
Combine all the wet ingredients; the eggs, milk, yogurt, safflower oil, molasses, honey, and vanilla in a small bowl and mix well.
Then take both and mix with a rubber spatula until combined. Gently fold in frozen blueberries or raisins or I even cut up dark chocolate and made a few of them with that. Use a muffin pan or muffin cups, and generously overfill them with batter. Cook at 375 degrees for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted and then removed without any muffin mix, just clean. YUM!
