Recipe: Double-A Muffins (grated apple and applesauce)

Here's a little recipe my DS and I re-worked; we changed it so much, we are now calling it our own.

DOUBLE-A MUFFINS
Makes 18 muffins

1 cup whole-grain pastry flour
1 cup oats (slow, large-flaked)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fat-free plain yogurt
1 large egg
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
2 medium apples, grated
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup currants (dried fruit, or chocolate chips, or both)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat 18 muffin cups with cooking spray. (Don't use paper liners.)

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, egg, brown sugar, and oil until smooth. Stir in the apples, applesauce, and currants (and/or dried fruit/chocolate chips). Pour the apple mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just blended. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared cups, filling them nearly to the top.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until springy to the touch and lightly browned. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.

We had them for breakfast with some bacon!

Enjoy!
