Ingredients

• 1/3 cup white flour
• 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/3 cup wheat germ
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 2 large eggs

• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese

use 3/4 cup orange puree (recipe 256341)

• sweet potato

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 and prepare your muffin tins (spray or liners).

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the white flour, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. 3

   add Parmesean and 3/4 cup of the cheddar cheese and set aside.

4. 4

   In another bowl, combine egg and sugar, then whisk in the oil and Orange Puree (carrots and sweet potatoes).

5. 5

   Fold the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until flour is just moistened. As with all muffins, don't over mix or your muffins will be tough and over-dense.

6. 6

   Scoop the batter into muffin tins, filling just over the top. Sprinkle the tops evenly with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

7. 7

   Ideally, serve muffins warm.
