So far the version I like the best is my Apple Cinnamon Muffins. And to my joy, my 7 year old loves them! He won't eat my bannana bread, my strawberry bread, any cookies with nuts, most versions of biscotti,...probably better for him that he doesn't eat most of those things but I do like to feed the ones I love!
Here is the Basic Muffin Recipe.
Dry Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingreadients:
1/3 cup canola oil
3/4 cup soymilk
1/3 cup applesauce
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup of add-ins: blueberries, cherries, diced apples, chocolate chips, nuts, etc...)
Directions:
-Preheat oven to 400
-Spray muffin pan with non-stick spray
-In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients and make a well
-Add wet ingreadients one at a time to well
-Mix just until combined, fold in add-ins
-Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full
-Bake 18-22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
For Apple Cinnamon Muffins I mostly follow the orginial recipe except for:
- I add 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon to the dry ingredients
- I leave out the vanilla
- instead of applesauce, I LOVE to use apple butter, soooo tasty!
- my add-in of choice is 2-3 granny smith apples, peeled, diced, place in a microwave-save bowl and microwave for 2-3 minutes until most pieces are soft, let cool while you get the rest of the ingredients ready; sometimes I add a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar to the apples if they are especially tart.
The apple muffin recipe makes a dozen big muffins OR 12 small muffins & 12 mini-muffins OR 3 dozen mini-muffins.
