Raspberry Ginger Muffins

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredients
1 cup / 250 ml all-purpose flour
1 cup / 250 ml whole wheat flour
3/4 cup / 175 ml granulated sugar
1.5 tsp / 7 ml baking powder
1/2 tsp / 2 ml baking soda
1/2 tsp / 2 ml salt
1 large egg
1 egg white
1 cup / 250 ml 1% or skim milk or unsweetened soy milk
1/4 cup / 50 ml canola oil
1 tbsp / 15 ml grated fresh ginger root
1 tsp / 5 ml vanilla extract
1-1/3 cups / 325 ml raspberries, fresh or frozen
2 tbsp / 25 ml quick cooking oats
1 tbsp / 15 ml brown sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together egg and egg white until frothy, about 30 seconds. Add milk, canola oil, ginger and vanilla, and whisk together.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, whisking until all the ingredients are combined (don't over mix). Add raspberries, gently folding them into the batter.

In a small bowl, combine oats and sugar. Set aside.

Pour batter into 16 paper-lined cups or greased muffin tins; sprinkle top of each muffin with oat and brown sugar mixture.

Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until cooked through (when a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean).
