Oatmeal and maple. What a great combination. Add some whole wheat flour, cinnamon and buttermilk and you’ve got a healthy and delicious bread.
I’ve been looking forward to making the Healthy Bread in Five Minutes Maple Oatmeal Bread all month. I almost missed the deadline for the HBinFive Sep 15th Bread Braid, but I finally found some time to mix up the dough. With the Healthy Bread in Five Minutes method, it doesn’t take long. Just mix it up a day or two before you want to bake, let it rest on the counter for a couple of hours, then put the dough in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it. When you’re ready to bake, all you have to do is take some of the dough out of the refrigerator, shape it and bake it.
I decided to make muffins for a quick and easy breakfast. The flavors just sounded so comforting and healthy. I’m not a big breakfast person but a warm muffin with homemade butter and some Gala apples from my favorite farm… Now, that’s what I’m talking about!

Cathy, your muffins look delicious! My muffins were also on the crunchy side, but I liked them that way. Your crumb looks perfect.
I love the new look to your blog 🙂

what a perfect breakfast. The muffins look wonderful. My maple oatmeal “creation” just came out of the oven…and it smells so good.

Nice looking muffins. I followed one of your links on milling and there is a recipe for bread using sprouted wheat. Do you have any thoughts on how to incorporate sprouted wheat into an HB in 5 recipe?

Gorgeous photos Cathy! Love the side of sliced apples with the muffins, what a great breakfast to wake up too. All that’s missing is a steaming cup of coffee!

Coffee…That’s what I forgot! Thanks Michelle.

Guff, I haven’t tried using sprouted wheat in a HBinFive recipe. That would be an interesting test. I wonder if you could use the master recipe and just substitute some of the whole wheat flour for the sprouted wheat and then reduce the water. I think I’ll try it! Thanks for the idea.

Be sure to let us know how your sprouted wheat experiment works.
