Sara here! I want to tell you about some baking we have been doing. We stopped at Panera last week and bought two muffins to split and share - a pumpkin muffin and an apple cinnamon muffin. After trying them both, we (me and Jo) decided that we needed to try to make some. So we found a recipe that we really liked online (here's the recipe that we started with) and made a few tweaks to it, like more pumpkin spice and a whole can of pumpkin puree and of course we doubled the streusel topping. I must say, they turned out wonderful!! So the next week we decided to take that muffin recipe that we liked so much and turrn it into an apple cinnamon muffin. We used apple pie filling instead of the pumpkin puree. The apple pie filling has chunks of apples in it, just perfect for a muffin. And we added lots of cinnamon! Here's the batter in the large muffin tins.
They turned out wondeful as well. I'm not even a fan of cinnamon and I love them! We also plan to make / create a blueberry muffin and a chocolate muffin. The great thing about the original muffin recipe we started with is that we figure its not really all that unhealthy (for a muffin, that is). It has applesause in it to keep it moist and half a cup of oats in it. And we added flax seed meal to the apple muffins. Flax is really good for you, but you couldn't even tell it was in the muffins.
