Applesauce muffins

I copy and pasted this recipe straight from my Sister-in-law's blog, Organized Dinner. It is one that we use a lot and we all really like.  It is a good one to use if you are cooking for someone with an egg or dairy allergy. 


applesauce muffins

(I got this recipe from Brooke Oldroyd's blog.  It has become one of our favorites!  She is always cooking up something amazing!)

1 cup sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp allspice
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 c flour (I use wheat)
1c applesauce (I add more applesauce and less oil)
1/2 c oil
1 tsp vanilla
Mix all together, pour in lined muffin tin. Bake 375 for 18 min.

Raisin Bran Muffins

This is a recipe that I got from Janet, my M-I-L, and I think she got it from Shannon, my S-I-L.  It makes a ton of yummy moist muffins.  While I'm not a big fan of eating raisins by themselves they have never bothered me in baked goods like cinnamon rolls, cookies, and muffins so I really like these muffins.  This recipe works well as a prepare the night before and then bake in the morning recipe.  It also makes a lot but they freeze well and thaw out fast. My changes are in red.

Mix together:
2 cups Flour (substitute whole wheat - no one will know)
4 eggs
1 cup Oats (sometimes I do 1 cup whole oats and 1/4 cup quick oats)
1 cup Wheat Germ
3 cups sugar
1 Tbsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp.  Salt
1 tsp. Cinnamon (I use 2 tsp)
Flax seed - I usually pour in at least 1/2 cup

Add:
20 oz box Raisin Bran cereal
1 qt. Buttermilk (I alway make my buttermilk with vinegar because I never have buttermilk on hand)
1 cup Oil

Stir all ingredients together and allow the cereal to absorb the milk a little (like I said overnight works well but is not required)
Bake at 350 for 20 - 25 min.
