Yes, I made another batch of muffins. I can only assume that this baking streak (and the cleaning of the kitchen as soon as I’m done) is some kind of odd side-effect of meditation. It’s possible I’ve been replaced by a pod person. If I start cleaning the rest of the house, have tests done. That being said, these muffins are freaking awesome. I asked Shane what kind he wanted next and he said “lemon”. I happen to LOVE lemon. While I changed the original recipe a little to make it healthier (and because I wasn’t braving the snowstorm to get lemon juice), they still turned out really good. I kinda hope Shane doesn’t like them…
Ingredients
8 servings
- 1 cup flour {I used whole wheat flour}
2 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
a dash of cinnamon {optional – I did NOT use}
2 tbsp Splenda Brown
1 egg, beaten {I used two egg whites}
5 tbsp apple sauce {I subbed unsweetened and added a little Splenda}
0.5 tbsp lemon juice {I only had lemon extract in the house}
0.5 cups milk {used skim}
a dash of vanilla
1 med. apple, peeled and diced {didn’t peal}
Directions
- preheat oven to 425F, lightly grease muffin tin or line with papers
- sift together dry ingredients, set aside
- mix together splenda brown sugar, egg, apple sauce, and lemon juice {since I only had lemon extract, I put in around a 1/2 teaspoon – maybe a little more – and just tested for taste} then add milk and vanilla
- add dry ingredients and mix until just moistened, being careful not to over mix; fold in apples; spoon into muffin tins
- back 15 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean; cool 2-5 minutes in pan before removing to rack to cool completely
