Trailblazin' Muffins

My dad and his wife Kathy have a wonderful business called Rock Creek Nut Company. Their company is based in the little town of Union Oregon which is nestled in the middle of the Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon. Rock Creek Nut company offers a terrific variety of top-notch nuts, dried fruits, chocolate-covered treats (nuts, fruits, and organic espresso beans), and specially formulated trail mixes (some of which include Oregon Hazelnuts and Oregon grown Cranberries). You can easily order online through their website. Take a peek around, I know you will love it!

I recently requested some of their wonderful Trailblazer Mix. It's a mix of cranberries, pumpkin seeds, coconut, almonds, walnuts, and raisins.

I wanted to make some yummy muffins and I knew this mix would be the perfect ingredient!

Muffin Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
• 1 cup oats
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 stick butter, melted
• 1/2 cup low fat buttermilk
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 2 large eggs
• 4 oz Rock Creek Nut Company Trailblazer Mix, chopped

I got about 15 muffins out of this recipe.

Mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add the wet ingredients and chopped Trailblazer Mix. Stir just until combined. Fill lined muffin cups nearly full.

Bake at 375 degrees for 16-18 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

I've got to tell you these are so healthy and wonderful they make me want to Blaze some Trails right now!!
