My daughter was asking for cinnamon bread but I love the convenience of having muffins all ready for breakfast or to send to school for her for a snack. I also like to try to throw some fruit in any time I make muffins. I couldn't find a cinnamon muffin recipe that I liked so I made this one up! It is all real food and has apples and bananas in it. (I didn't peel the apples partly for the added fiber and partly because that's more work and I'm lazy where I can be- no one noticed they weren't peeled). There's no oil or butter because the yogurt substitutes for the oil (and adds a little protein). I use real maple syrup and the ripened bananas as a sweetener. This was the verdict:
My four year old said "Mmmmm"
My six year old said "Can I have another one? Can I take this to school for snack?"
My husband approved too.
Ingredients:
wet ingredients:
2 cups diced apples (I wash but I don't peel mine)
2 small bananas, ripe
2 eggs
1/2 cup greek yogurt (plain)
1/2 cup natural applesauce
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
dry ingredients:
1 3/4 cup white wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Mix together all the wet ingredients in one large bowl. In another bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just incorporated. Spoon into lined muffin cups and cook at 350 degrees. It made 27 muffins for me. My kids could totally eat two of these smeared with PB for breakfast and some berries on the side and be good to go!
