Here’s a muffin
remake recipe. What originally started
out as Apple Crisp Muffins has recently turned into mini muffins for a USD 435
Parents as Teachers (PAT) gathering. Fall Olympics was the theme for the Family
Fun, Fitness and Food event where the mini muffins were served. Parent and
their young children were challenged to . . . examine a muffin by discussing
how it smells, tastes, and feels in your mouth (texture); then come up with a
name for the treat.
Besides those
names mentioned in the title for this post, a few others included: Yummy
Muffins, Baby Kisses (because they were sweet & tasted good), and Muffin
Man Muffins.
Name That Muffin – Fall Delight, Oat Apple Yum Yum, Cinna—Mmmm Muffins . . Makes about 70 mini
muffins
3½ cups all-purpose
flour
3 cups peeled, finely
chopped apples
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking
soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1¼ cups vegetable oil
(I start with 1 cup & then add more only if the dough is still dry)
2 eggs, lightly
beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1. Preheat
oven to 350°. Spray mini muffin cups
with pan release and sprinkle a little Cinnamon-Oat Crunch Topping in the cups.
(I used silicon muffin pans for really easy release after baking.)
2. In
a large bowl combine flour, apples, sugar, salt, baking soda and cinnamon.
3. Stir in oil, eggs, nuts and vanilla. (Batter will be thick and resemble cookie
dough.)
In the process of adding the various ingredients. |
This is what the batter looks like once it is all mixed. |
4. Fill
muffin cups — I used a tablespoon scoop to measure out the dough, filling each
cup ¾ to almost level full. Sprinkle tops with more Cinnamon-Oat Crunch Topping.
6. Cool
or a wire rack for 5 minutes before removing from pan.
7. Serve warm or cold.
The other food/nutrition activity at the event — Build Your Own Olympic Fruit & Yogurt Sundae . . . to go with the muffins. |
