Fall Recipe of the Week: Easy Apple Muffins!

A Breakfast Treat Sure to Please!

By: Jessica Harbour, Fayetteville, AR

We are definitely breakfast people at our house.  Sometimes we may not eat it until 9:30 or 10, so maybe that makes it brunch, but I love this apple muffin recipe.  It's easy and fast, since it uses applesauce instead of having to actually cut up apples!  Also-if you want to make it healthier you can sub in 1/2 cup of oatmeal for 1/4 cup of the flour.

 What you need:

  •  3/4 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 white sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tap cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup chunky applesauce
What you do:
  1. Preheat oven to 400.
  2. In a small bowl, mix yogurt, baking soda, and baking powder.  Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients (except baking soda and baking powder, which you've already put in with the yogurt).
  4. The yogurt mixture should be slightly puffy by this point.  Add the applesauce and eggs to it and stir.
  5. Mix wet ingredients into dry.
  6. Pour into greased muffin cups (or use liners).  Fill muffin cups about 1/2 full.  (I like to only do half b/c then the muffin doesn't come out of the top of the cup and overflow the edge.)
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until tops are golden brown, with cracks in them.
  8. Let cool (a little) and serve! (My kids like to eat theirs with peanut butter and jelly, lol.)

Have your say
