I've gotten really good at making this recipe. This time, I added lemon zest and fresh strawberries from our local farm. Delicious, and so pretty!!
Here is the recipe:
3/4 cups low fat milk 1/2 cup natural applesauce 1 egg 1 cup all purpose flour 1 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup sugar 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries 1 tablespoon lemon zest Muffin tin (makes 12 muffins)
Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Blend milk, applesauce, egg in a small bowl and set aside. Stir together flours, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest and salt in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in wet ingredients. Stir until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy). Fold in strawberries. Divide batter among muffin cups. Bake until golden brown. Muffins will keep for a day or two on your counter, or up to a week in the fridge. But they never last that long at my house The original recipe was for blueberry muffins (found somewhere on the internet, lost the link) and I tweaked it for the fruits that were in season. It's a VERY versatile recipe!
This was a really nice thing to look at this time of day, I was probably drawn to it because I haven't eaten breakfast yet. This also fits the muffin-cupcake debate I'm having with my friend. It's not too serious, so it's fun sometimes! I might have to try this one day, thanks for sharing. Well, I'm off to eat breakfast!
