This recipe is full of excellent ingredients to increase your fertility such as eggs, millet and pumpkin seeds!
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups pumpkin purée
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup millet
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup unbleached flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pre-heat oven to 350. Grease a large muffin pan and line with muffin cups if you like. Combine eggs, oil, buttermilk, agave nectar, vanilla, and pumpkin in a large bowl and mix together, making sure there are no lumps. Stir in the oats. Toast millet in a hot dry skillet until lightly browned and fragrant. Toast the pumpkin seeds and add the millet and seeds to the bowl. Set aside.
In a separate bowl sift the dry ingredients together. Add the dry mix to the wet mix and gently stir to combine. Do not overmix, or the muffins will be dry and tough.
Fill muffin cups generously with batter. Sprinkle tops with pumpkin seeds and bake for 25 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
