Time 30m

Yield 32 mini muffins, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

3/4 cup white whole wheat flour (all the nutrition of whole wheat, not nearly the "bite." its taste is sweeter and more mild, due to )
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup flax seed meal (ground flax seed, found in the "nutritional" isle at many grocers)
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced (more or less to taste)
1 egg, beaten (or egg substitute)
1 cup applesauce
2 tablespoons butter, melted (substitute 2 tbsp applesauce OR 2 tbsp oil for a vegan alternative)
3 tablespoons light brown sugar (for sprinkling on top of muffins)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine the dry ingredients in small bowl.
Combine the wet ingredients in large bowl, and then add dry ingredients and stir until combined.
Spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray and measure the (slightly sticky) batter into the tins by the tablespoon (don't use muffin liners, the dough sticks too much).
Sprinkle each muffin with a bit of light brown sugar to coat the top (don't skip this step if you don't have to, the brown sugar adds a lovely touch to the muffins).
Bake for 10 minutes, let them sit in the tin for a couple of minutes and then move the muffins to a rack to cool completely.
Alternative: bake in a loaf pan for 55-60 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
