Perfect Apple and Cinnamon Muffins

November 19, 2008

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1/2 cup unbleached flour
* 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
* 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1t baking powder
* 1/2t baking soda
* 1 cup vegan soymilk
* 1 packet of regular instant oatmeal (about 1/4 cup, any rolled oats can be used)
* 1/2 cup oat bran (any bran cereal will due, I use Grape Nuts)
* 1/4 cup maple vegan sugar crystals (or any substitute for brown sugar)
* 2T canola oil
* 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
* 1 1/2 cups shopped or shredded peeled apples

Directions:

Coat 12 muffin cups with nonstick spray and set
aside. Preheat oven at 350.

In medium bowl combine flours, cinnamon, baking
powder and, baking soda.

Peel apples. You can either finely chop them or
shred them with a grater. I prefer chopped, and
I use gala apples, they are good for baking.
In a large bowl beat together the soy milk,
oatmeal, oat bran, maple crystals, oil, and
applesauce.

Add flour mixture, medium bowl, to liquid
mixture. This process should be done quickly
and only mix until moistened, careful not to
over mix. Lastly, fold in apples.
Spoon batter into muffin cups and bake at 400
for 20 minutes. Time may vary depending on
oven. Use a toothpick, insert it in the center
of a muffin, if it comes out clean, they are
done.

Remove muffins, let cool for 5 minutes, and
enjoy!

Fat content may vary according to soy milk used
but these are relatively low fat and healthful
muffins. I do not recommend using non-fat soy
milk because of the consistency. Silk and SunSoy
work as well as other original
flavor soy milks.

Serves: nakes 12 muffins

Preparation time: about 30 min
