Breakfast Muffin Bake-Off

It’s been a {healthy} breakfast muffin hunt in the Spradlin household.  Well, let’s be honest… who isn’t in a rush in the mornings, let alone have the time to fix something nutritious and tasty?  I’d be lucky to have enough time to squirt honey in my oatmeal before my clock is already screaming at me that I’m running late!  Okay, I’m always late.  To just about everything.  But these muffins will help! Grab and Go!!!

I am incredibly proud that I found these winners!  I made a lemon poppy seed, a banana pineapple, but the true winner belongs to these apple delights!

{apple left, banana right- if you’d like that recipe, I’d be happy to share. Just ask}

 Topping:

* 2 tblsp dark brown sugar

1/4 c chopped pecans

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

 

Muffin:

* 3/4 cup dark brown sugar

* 1 cup all-purpose flour

* 1 cup whole wheat flour

* 1 tsp baking soda

* 1/2 tsp salt

* 1/4 cup vege or canola oil

* 2 eggs

* 1 cup natural, unsweet applesauce

* 1 tsp vanilla

* 3/4 c lowfat buttermilk

* 1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped into pieces

1.) Preheat oven to 400f  (if you don’t like eating muffin wrapper, I’d suggest spraying… or not using them at all. Trust me.  Healthy doesn’t really mean eating paper).

2.) Mix 2 tbsp brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon.  Set aside

3.) Mix flours, baking soda, and salt.

4.) Mix remaining brown sugar and oil.  Add eggs one at a time, then applesauce then vanilla. Alternate adding flour and buttermilk and stir in apple chunks

5.) Pour batter into muffin pan and sprinkle your topping on each

6.) Bake for about 20 min, until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Then Eat.  And possibly share.  They’re. So. Good. Nom nom.
