Whole Orange Muffins
To prepare them, it is very important to sift the flours to be used (“all-purpose” and integral in equal proportion). Add a pinch of salt, ground cinnamon, and at least two tablespoons of baking soda to ensure fluffiness. Then add a little sugar, a little wheat germ and a cup of raisins, mix well and make a “volcano”.
In another container, mix a cup of natural yogurt, an egg, oil and a cup of orange juice. When homogenizing, add some orange zest to the mixture, stirring gently. Add in the flour mixture, while kneading with your hands. After greasing the molds, fill them with the mixture to two-thirds full. Bake for 20 minutes or until, when inserting a toothpick, it comes out dry.
Pear pancakes
Mix some “all-purpose” wheat flour with whole wheat, a teaspoon of brown sugar and salt. You can add a little baking powder to “rise” and ginger in pieces or powder. In a separate bowl, mix an egg with a cup of low-fat milk, and a tablespoon of oil.
Add pear chunks to the mixture and keep stirring, while adding the ingredients from the other bowl. When the mixture is consistent, you can spread the mixture in the pan in small portions. For faster cooking, preheat and grease very lightly, to avoid sticking to the surface.
