This gorgeous recipe for moist and flavorful yet also healthy muffins comes from " The Wild Wild West" cookbook, which I got of my wonderful swap partner and friend Tammie in the 2009 Cookbook Swap. I luv how easy and quick it comes together and how tasty the muffins are while still being good for you.
Coat muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray or line with paper cups (muffins will stick to them though).
02Combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl.
03In a second bowl combine oil mixed with 1 tbs applesauce, 1 cup applesauce, yoghurt, egg and honey/agave nectar. Add to dry ingredients and stir only until just moistened.
04Fold in apples and pecans if using. Pour into prepared muffin tins, sprinkle lightly with cinnamon sugar if using.
05and bake in the pre-heated oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes.
