Cinnamon Applesauce Muffins

cinnamon applesauce muffin

 

With Mornings still chilly here in Denver I decided to do a little baking with the kids ! I wanted to use up some of this giant jar of applesauce I had and wanted a more “healthy” option. These are not light and fluffy muffins , they are more of a dense muffin that are super wholesome and filling. I think they are perfect for breakfast ! Using ingredients like whole wheat flour and chia seeds make these a delicious and easy breakfast or snack option that you don’t have to feel too  guilty about !

Just like many recipes , this is one that you can really add and take away ingredients pretty easily . Adding some veggies or fruits to these would be delicious and I’m thinking next time adding some zucchini ?!

Cinnamon Applesauce Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 C whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 C sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon you can add a little more if you love cinnamon
  • 1/2 C applesauce + 1-2 Tbs more
  • 1/2 C milk
  • 2 Tbs oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbs chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray muffin pan with cooking spray.

    In a large bowl combine flour , sugar, baking soda and cinnamon.

    Add applesauce , a slightly beatened egg , milk and oil and mix just until all dry ingredients are moist. Sprinkle in the chia seeds

    Spoon the batter into the muffin pans about 3/4 of the way full (it will be quite thick)

    Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes

    Remove them from the pan after just a few minutes

    Dust powdered sugar on top and enjoy !

 

So there is sugar and oil and an egg … it’s not THE healthiest muffin recipe I make but I just really love how filling they are ! Plus they are very kid-friendly . It is an easy recipe that they can help you bake and then they LOVE dusting that powdered sugar on top ! No powdered sugar ? My son drizzled some local honey on top of his and it was DELICIOUS! They also aren’t the “prettiest” right ? But oh well !  I still wanted to share this recipe because we ate all 12 of them in one sitting and then the kids were asking if we could make more!

This cinnamon applesauce muffin recipe is far from perfect but I will be continuing to work at it and adding more nutrient rich ingredients and getting it just right !
Thanks for stopping by !

    OMG those look sooooo yummy – AND healthy! Have you tried replacing the egg w/plain yogurt, and/or the little bit of oil with flax seed? Those are the only two hacks I can think of to get rid of those ingredients/make it even healthier – but since we have no allergies to egg around here and the oil amount is so tiny, I’m not going to let that bother me!

Poor Liam missed the last two days of his Summer camp this week. 😩 He missed out on the sleepover, whitewater rafting, and a campfire. He's just sad he didn't get to thank or say goodbye to his counselors & friends. He doesn't have it too bad at all but didn't want to get his friends sick, of course. 
We also finally had beautiful Summer weather this week, and I was stuck inside everyday trying to fight this 🦠 

Baby Theo is in the thick of it now, and  gosh is he a tough little guy. Nights are the worst and I feel helpless when he can't breathe through his nose at all or catch his breath from coughing. 
😩
Taking care of a sick family while barely able to lift my own head was not fun. I'm doing MUCH better today so I can properly take care of the boys . Being a mother while sick is truly one of the hardest things, isn't it ?? Every time I'm super sick like this, I think about how I wish my own mother was here to take care of me 😆 

I have a natural chest rub for baby Theo and EO going in the diffusers. We're taking warm baths every day... any other suggestions on what I could do to help ease his congestion and cough ??

Today I surprised my son with a mint & citrus foot soak after a long day at Summer camp. 
I've been under the weather the last couple of days so I needed a rejuvenating foot soak out on the porch, too. 
Foot soaks have been a nice calming ritual my son and I have done together since he was a toddler. Hot foot soaks on cold Winter evenings and cooling foot soaks at the end of a hot Summers day are a good excuse to sit down together and just relax. We use different herbs and fruits for the changing seasons. The citrus and fresh mint in this foot soak is cooling and refreshing. 

To make: 

Fill a large bowl with lukewarm water and add slices of grapefruit, lemon, and lime. Sprinkle in some fresh mint leaves and 1/2 C to 1 C of epsom salts. 

Mint has a nice cooling effect on the feet and helps to sooth sore muscles, aches and pains.
