Top of the Muffins To Ya
From YumSugar

2 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp clove
1/2 tsp ginger

2 sticks of butter, room temperature
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup milk

1 cup cooked couscous
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 - 1 cup crushed/toasted almonds - I eyeballed it
1/2 - 1 cup chocolate chunks - or use chips - I just used what I had left

  • Preheat oven to 375F
  • In a mixing bowl combine, flour, soda, powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and ginger. Whisk or sift to combine thoroughly. Set aside.
  • In a mixer cream butter until it's light and fluffy - I turned it on and let it go for a few minutes.
  • When butter is creamed add in brown sugar, then white and mix until both are throughly incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • On low speed, add eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is mixed before adding the next.
  • When eggs are incorporated add in vanilla.
  • Add the flour mixture to butter mixture, 1/3 at a time. Mixing each time until incorporated.
  • Mix in milk.
  • Add in couscous, rolled oats, almonds, chocolate, mix until combined and each piece is coated.
  • Use a large ice cream scoop to scoop dough into balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, remove from oven and leave on pan for 2 minutes.
  • Move cookies to wire rack to cool.

If I was to do this again, I'd add in more couscous, less milk, more chocolate and probably dried cranberries.
