This is a tasty little muffin I came up with last apple season! I modified an old recipe my Mom had to make it a bit more healthy, so I could really enjoy them without guilt! Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour |
1/4 cup ground flax seeds |
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 -2 tablespoon cinnamon (to taste) |
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 egg, beaten |
1/2-3/4 cup nonfat milk (i use soy usually) |
2 tablespoons honey |
1 tablespoon molasses |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla |
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds |
1 tablespoon nonfat yogurt |
3 tablespoons applesauce, unsweetened |
1 1/2 cups apples, grated |
1/2 cup apple, coarsely chopped |
9 dates, diced |
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped |
Directions:
1. To grate apples I use my food processor, but you can use a hand grater if you want. I also usually send the dates through with the apples in the processor.
2. Then chop up your 1/2 cup of apples, nuts, and dates (if not thrown in processor with apples). The apples and nuts add to the texture and the dates make it a little sweeter.
3. Combine all items from the Dry list. Then all from the Wet list.
4. Slowly add Dry to wet and mix until combined well.
5. Pour batter in sprayed muffin tin (or use papers if you like) and place in 350°F oven about 12-15 minutes. Remove and place on cooling rack.
