Whole Wheat N' Molasses Muffins

	This is a very plain muffin recipe but it is surprising the number of flavours you can add to it. Prep: 25 minutes Cook: 20 minutes Serves:12	Lor

Ingredients:

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup All-Purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup skim milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup unsalted margarine, melted & cooled
1 egg beaten
Vegetable cooking spray
Note: I like to add raisins(soaked in boiling water and drained) or chopped dates or semi-sweet chocolate chips. Blueberries or strawberries work well, chopped peaches or one banana mashed. I have even turned this muffin recipe into a ginger muffin by adding 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger and chopped sugared ginger. You can add 1 teaspoon of wheatgerm if you are looking for a health kick muffin. Use your imagination ;-)
