Recipe: Whole Wheat Apple Muffins
I am having so much fun reading all your interesting contest answers and questions! Keep 'em coming- the contest ends tomorrow at midnight!
In the meantime, I've been sustaining baking compulsions (that whole spring-time revitalization thing going on). Therefore another recipe - Whole Wheat Apple Muffins.
These were super yummy, a nice change of pace and kept well. The lower guilt factor compared to some of my other baking was a large bonus too. Fruit! Whole wheat! See healthy stuff! If you wanted to go even healthier you could substitute half the butter with applesauce which I think I will do next time to also boost the apple flavor. The other modification I made was the original recipe called for one Tablespoon of cinnamon. Now that stopped me in my tracks as I was making this and though I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon that still seemed like a lot. So I cut back but I still feel I could have used less. The cinnamon overpowered a bit- even Mr. Pieknits commented they seemed very "masala-y". So here I've recommended just 1 teaspoon.
Also I dusted mine with Turbinado sugar instead of regular brown sugar, because well- wee sparkly!
Recipe and all that after the cut so as not to totally bombard those here just for the knitting. :)



































Preheat
oven to 350°F. Beat egg whites until very fluffy. Mix in baking powder. Very slowly
add sugar while mixer beats (will become thick and heavy).
