These Whole Grain Honey Muffins are about as healthy as you can get. Healthy doesn't have to taste bad and these muffins are the perfect example. Healthy and Yummy!
I had to hit 3 different stores before I found wheat germ. If you are having a hard time locating some, I would suggest Amazon. You might even be able to get a smaller jar than I did at my local grocery store.
I will admit that I am not that experienced using wheat germ in recipes and quite frankly, didn't really know what it was until I read this article.
If you have gluten intolerance or celiac disease you probably want to avoid using wheat germ. Oat Bran would be a good substitute. I'm not a medical expert so please do your research before making this recipe!
Just like most of my muffin recipes, these are pretty easy to make and ready in a little less than 30 minutes. My Maple Syrup Monkey Bread Muffins and my Apple Streusel Muffins are 2 of my favorite muffin recipes.
