Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup white flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder (aluminum free)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp finely ground flax seed mixed with 6 Tbsp water (or 2 eggs)
1/2 cup raw sugar
5 tbsp melted butter or shortening
1 cup chunky applesauce
1 chopped apple
Topping:
3 tbsp raw sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. First put the flax seed in a coffee grinder or food processor and grind until fine. Mix with water and let sit about 5 minutes in a medium mixing bowl until thick. This replaces 2 eggs in this recipe. You can use preground flax seed meal, but fresh is so much better for you! Mix dry ingredients in bowl and set aside. Add sugar and applesauce to melted butter and let sit a minute if using raw sugar to partially dissolve. Add this to the flax seed (or eggs) and mix well. Stir in flour mixture until moist then add chopped apples. Fill paper lined muffin pan 3/4 full. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp of topping on each muffin. Bake 400 degrees 20 min. If using stoneware, bake 24 minutes.
