Berry Muffins

These delicious and healthy muffins are courtesy of the amazing cookbook Simply in Season, my new favorite thing EVER!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 TBSP baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup honey
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen berries (any kind)

Directions:
Combine flour, oats, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a bowl.
In another bowl combine egg, milk, oil and honey--mix well. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and stir until just moistened.
Fold in the berries.
Fill well greased muffin tins 2/3 full. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon sugar.
Bake in preheated oven at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Variations: you can substitute shredded summer squash for the berries. Or you can replace the rolled oats with 1/2 cup additional whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup raw wheat germ. OR, you can use 3/4 cup additional whole wheat flour and 1/4 cup flax seed.
