Start your day off with these healthy and wonderfully tasty muffins. Use unhulled (natural brown) sesame seeds if you can find them; they are crunchier and often fresher tasting than their white hulled counterparts. Look for them in health food stores or Japanese or Korean markets.

Ingredients

1-3/4 cups  (425 mL)  whole wheat flour
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  all-purpose flour
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  packed dark brown sugar
1 tsp  (5 mL)  baking soda
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  baking powder
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  salt
3 tbsp  (45 mL)  sesame seeds
3 tbsp  (45 mL)  sunflower seeds
3 tbsp  (45 mL)  pumpkin seeds
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  hulled millet
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  flaxseeds, coarsely ground
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups  (375 mL)  1% yogurt or buttermilk
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  liquid honey
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  vegetable oil

Preparation

In large bowl, whisk together whole wheat and all-purpose flours, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt; whisk in sesame, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, millet and flaxseeds.
