With Apples everywhere you turn right now I thought it would be a great time to make a new Apple muffin recipe.

Now that I have kicked into full swing with my fitness workouts I thought this would be a great time to find the time and energy to start baking again. I still eat treats here and there and it will be great to know what I am eating.

I love making muffins and I also love playing around with different recipes. Usually I will find something that looks good and will start adding or removing ingredients to make it more of something my family will like or healthier.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup quick oats
2/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup milk or 1/2 cup of each milk & water
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 cup apple, peeled and cut into chunks (about 2 medium apples)
1/2 cup raisins that had been soaked in hot water.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375F.
In a small bowl cover raisins with hot water and let soak while making batter.
Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl, add milk/water and vegetable oil. Fold in apples and raisins (drain water off raisins before folding in to batter). Be sure not to over mix batter.
Pour batter into greased/lined muffin tin.
Cook for 12-15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Makes 12 regular sized muffins
