Muffin Mania

For all my mommy friend out there, i don't know how it is for you, but i hate waking up to every one whining about how hungry they are, and crying because they can't reach the cereal, tattle tailing on the oldest one for not pouring enough milk in the sippy cup... on and on it goes. To being a bit of peace and tranquility to my morning times, meaning that for the most part i can sleep just a wee bit longer, I place a big Ole' basket of these muffins on the counter. They are the epitome of self serve, and ohhhhh so yummy. Ohhh and did i happen to mention that there is no flour or sugar in the whole batch. These wonder muffins are simple as can be with the main ingredients being, Oats, applesauce, homey, raisins, water and butter... There is a bit more to them that just that but you get the gist. Here below i will walk you through my muffin making bliss!




Gather all your ingredients, here is a list of everything you'll need.



1) 6 cups of oatmeal, I use quick oats.
2)1tsp. Salt
3)1 tsp. cinnamon
4)1TB.spoon Baking Powder
5)1 cup (your choice) sweetened or unsweetened applesauce
6)3 eggs
7)1/4 Cup Local Honey
8) 1/2 Cup melted butter
9) 1 cup raisins or misc. dehydrated fruit
10) 1 1/2 Cup water or milk

In a large bowl place all ingredients in, and fold together with a spatula. make sure that your batter is mixed thoroughly!







Then using a ice cream scoop fill your muffin tins, Don't you just love making a kitchen tool multi purpose! ohhh and if you spray your tins with cooking spray there is no need for liners



,



Bake your muffins in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 min. or golden brown. Yummmm enjoy!

in this batch i added shredded zucchini from our final harvest, and i used a blend of mixed dehydrated berries.... when adding zucchini, i cut the water by a 1/4 cup because zucchini tend to hold quite a bit of water. I have added shredded carrots to this recipe a time or two and even used fresh or pureed fruit in place of the applesauce, There are so many options with this yummy muffin.... have some fun with it!
