What's your favorite muffin?
#33
I make what my daughter used to call "Good for you" muffins.
They are chewy and dense and bear no relation to the muffins you buy in a store or bakery:
1 1/4 c flour
1 1/4 c oatmeal
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
pinch of clove and fresh nutmeg
1 cup applesauce
1 egg
t TBSP oil
1/2 c skim milk
1/2 c brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup or so roughly chopped fresh cranberries (I buy cranberries in bulk in the fall and winter and freeze them)
1/2 cup roughly chopped walnuts
zest of one orange. (sometimes I chop up the peel of a clementine or two.)
Mix dry ingredients, add the walnuts to the dry mix.
Mix wet ingredients well in a smaller bowl- add orange zest. Mix wet ingredients into dry. Add cranberries at the end.
1/2 cup or so into well greased muffin tin (or lined)
Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
These are low fat and high in oatmeal, which means they stick with you. My husband takes these on strenuous gigs, as they are good energy sources. Mmmmm.
(I don't use a written recipe, so the amounts on the cranberries/walnuts/orange zest are guesstimates.)

I like the sweet ones, most any kind. Chocolate, chocolate chip, being my favorite. I did have a wonderful reciepe for, are you ready, Onion muffins. I lost my reciepe in one of my moves. I think it came from "taste of home" magazine. It had onions and walnuts in it. There were delious and just as good cold as they were hot. If anyone has the recipe, would love to have it.
