Applesauce muffins


Submitted by lthomas413

Makes 12 servings

They're not a wonderfully healthy recipe, but better than many and my kids will actually eat them, making my life a bit easier.

Ingredients
6 tablespoons butter
3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups chunky applesauce
Directions
  1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with bake cups and set aside.

  2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter on high for about 30 to 60 seconds; set aside to cool slightly.

  3. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a large mixing bowl. When mixing dry and wet ingredients for muffins, gently stir just until the flour disappears. This will produce muffins with a nice crumbly texture.

  4. In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs and brown sugar. Stir in the applesauce and melted butter until the mixture is smooth. For mess-free muffins, use an ice-cream scoop to spoon the batter into the bake cups.

  5. Pour the apple mixture over the flour mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined (it's ready when you can't see any traces of flour).

  6. Fill the bake cups about two-thirds full with batter. Bake for 20 minutes or until light brown.

  7. Test for doneness by inserting a knife in the middle of one muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are ready to eat. Makes 12.
